Join us on Saturday 19 July and Saturday 16 August for an exhibition tour, film screening, coffee tasting, and conversation, in collaboration with Dispatch Coffee. Expanding on our exhibition and film, With an Acre, this event series considers agriculture, land stewardship, and global interdependence through coffee production in Brazil.

Each session invites 25 visitors to join a guided tour of the exhibition, with a screening of the film featuring Carla Juaçaba’s work, followed by a coffee tasting led by Dispatch Coffee co-founder Chrissy Durcak. This experience will feature a curated coffee from smallholder farms in Minas Gerais, Brazil—showcasing the region and communities at the heart of With an Acre. Following the tasting, guests are invited to join a virtual Q&A with a guest speaker from within the Brazilian coffee value chain, offering deeper insight into the realities and relationships behind the beans. Through this tasting, Dispatch and the CCA invite guests to experience coffee not just as a product, but as a reflection of place and cultural and ecological narrative.

Each session includes a 50-minute screening, 30-minute guided tasting, and 40-minute conversation with a coffee producer.
