Description
This portrait project examines the difference in coffee culture between Bogota, Colombia and London, Canada. Monica Sierra, a recent immigrant from Bogota, shares her experiences between the two lifestyles. Coffee and cafes play an important role in daily Colombian life and according to her, this cultural element is missing in London. Monica compares the warm, welcoming and outdoor cafes in Bogota to the Canadian café equivalent, Tim Hortons. This video aims to analyze how such a simple food staple can have such a different value in different cultural contexts.
