A woman, a city, an evolving collaboration…
Mission/Purpose:
Empress Tea is an experimental and creative group blog. It provides an artistic outlet to inspire and encourage talented minds from across the globe. In this collaborative blog we openly share all kinds of ideas, exhibiting freedom of expression within a positive and supportive group dynamic. Here we commit to taking time for ourselves to dream and expand our creative nature.
Explanation:
Empress Tea is a collaboration of women, only one per city, from across the globe. It is a wonderful organic mesh of creativity and complete randomness. According to sequence on the Empress List, each woman gets an opportunity to post something creative on the blog. After an entry, the subsequent woman then has 7 days to respond with her own post. The response doesn’t necessarily have to be a piece of writing – we are encouraged to use our imagination and express ourselves creatively. A response can reflect upon the previous post or it can continue onto a new topic but there should be some kind of through-line in this ever-growing organic evolution of topics and themes. The proverbial conch will thus continue to be passed around between the ladies with the hopes of inspiring each other and perhaps even a passerby along the way. We hope you enjoy our musings!
