  • Tea As Medicine: Sensorium Art Installation

    by Amy Truong
    Last weekend, we participated in the Sensorium Art Installation, a series of immersive, multi-sensory art experiences held inside the Idea1 apartments. San Diego-based art nonprofit Vanguard Culture hosted the event, and we collaborated with featured artist Melissa Browder Beck. Her piece involved a medicine cabinet filled with flowers and take-home tea. This installation highlighted tea’s attributes of health, comfort, and routine.
