Designer Notes and Details

This animate object is a part of the Boon/ Buna coffee ceremony, involving the aromatic grinding, roasting and brewing of coffee traditionally served with popcorn and Himbasha bread. Usually facilitated by women, this ritual is an invitation to community, life and remembrance by way of activating all the senses.
