Drink My Sweat


  • High Road Leytonstone London, England, E11 4RD United Kingdom (map)

Leytonstone Town Centre is hosting its first large scale outdoor photography exhibition, which documents the people and processes that go into coffee production in three coffee producing regions across the world.

The exhibition title 'Drink My Sweat' is translated from the Swahili expression Kunywa Jasho Langu and can be interpreted as an invitation to enjoy the produce that is the result of hard work. The series of pictures features under Leytonstone High Road Station bridge, the sides of local businesses, houses and embedded in shop window displays.

The exhibition comes with stories too, which humanise the process and illustrate the amount of work that goes into growing, harvesting and exporting coffee from farms in: Kenya (Nyeri), Colombia (Huila) and Honduras (Pozo Negro).
