Cuppa Hope (2024)

To mark Refugee Week, UK for UNHCR launched ‘Cuppa Hope’ pop-up cafés for Tea & Talks with refugee storytellers from around the world.

Many cultures share a long history of tea drinking with their own, varied traditions. We created spaces to bring together our shared love of a cosy cuppa and a chat, and the beautiful tea rituals that refugees have brought with them to the UK.

Our Cuppa Hope Tea & Talks featured hosts from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, East Africa, Syria and Ukraine.

I shot the event in Bradford on my Sony FX9 Shooting Package and Sound Kit.
