SUMMARY:Journey Into the World of Tea | Introduction to Tea

This six-part series is led by Tea Expert and Educator\, Frank Kwei. \nFrank Kwei welcomes the public with a simple cup of tea and invites them into a deeper appreciation of the intentionality of SANAA’s architecture and the impact of the Foundation’s work to advance good in the world. Before joining Grace Farms\, Frank co-founded and managed a boutique tea company based in Brooklyn\, New York\, and spent several years focused on the sourcing and supply chains for tea ingredients. Frank has brought that experience to the Foundation’s work on ethical and sustainable supply chains across sectors\, including tea\, coffee\, food\, and architecture.

SUMMARY:James Florio's Studio at Grace Farms
DESCRIPTION:Step into the studio life of architectural photographer James Florio. \nFlorio is Grace Farms’ Artist-in-Residence\, visiting throughout the seasons to build a body of work composed on large format film. Encounter Florio’s creative process in the Grace Farms Library\, which will temporarily transform to display his photography\, along with curated\, tactile elements representing his Montana studio. \nLarge format film removes barriers between the viewer and image to capture the world as it is: simple yet complex\, imperfect but beautiful. During his residency\, Florio explores how the River building—with glass walls that remove barriers between people and nature—transforms with the landscape across the seasons. \nAbout James Florio\nJames Florio is a Montana-based photographer focused on the built environment and the life surrounding it. He works slowly whenever possible\, visiting a place repeatedly to gain a greater understanding of it and to deliver a thoughtful and profound interpretation. Using the camera as a means to investigate\, understand\, and document\, he prefers to work with large format film for its depth and deliberation. In 2022\, he was awarded the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. \nHis work is featured in various publications and books\, including the MAS Context book\, Radical Logic\, On the Work of Ensamble Studio\, the two upcoming books\, FOG and Thirtysix Views of Inverted Portal\, the Divisare Book set\, Structures of Landscape-James Florio\, Gio Ponti in the American West\, Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden\, National Geographic Traveler\, Domus\, Architectural Record\, Modern in Denver\, and others.

Using the camera as a means to investigate\, understand\, and document\, he prefers to work with large format film for its depth and deliberation. In 2022\, he was awarded the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. \nHis work is featured in various publications and books\, including the MAS Context book\, Radical Logic\, On the Work of Ensamble Studio\, the two upcoming books\, FOG and Thirtysix Views of Inverted Portal\, the Divisare Book set\, Structures of Landscape-James Florio\, Gio Ponti in the American West\, Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden\, National Geographic Traveler\, Domus\, Architectural Record\, Modern in Denver\, and others.
