Steeped Pearl

T.E.A. The Evolution Archive brings together artists of all mediums across generations for discussion and an communal herbal tea experience. Join us for Deep Brew, Humanitea Conversations on Saturday, April 11, from 1–4 PM at

This is a gathering of artists of all mediums across generations for a shared reflection on the question:

What do we carry forward, and what must we leave behind as we imagine the future?

Discussion Moderated by Martinique Mims and Dr. Isaiah Hunt accompanied by a herbal blending workshop guided by Steeped Pearl's KaShala Smith.

Rooted in a Sankofa approach and inspired by Afrofuturist thought, the experience will center conversation, art submission, and a communal tea experience. We are extending an invitation to local artists whose work and presence have helped shape the cultural and artistic landscape of Cleveland.

This gathering is also part of a larger evolving project, TEA: The Evolution Archive, which we are developing into a potential exhibition later this year. Whatever you archived from the conversation, if you’d like during the event you can make it into a custom tea blend and portray it in curated photos to make a custom tea blend.

Your voice, perspective, and legacy would add something deeply meaningful to this space.

I create space for more dreaming✨

Collaborating with this very special group to bring T.E.A. Evolution Archive was amazing. We learned a lot fast while having light hearted fun.

I left this project feeling proud of the artist I am and inspired to make more art.
Thanks to all who attended! We were happy to serve as the herbal guide to those who were chosen to build personalized blends, and keep the cup of every guest full❤️🫖.
.dream Josh and thanks a million☺️
