A huge team of brilliant creative people have come together to create The Communitea Shop, an online store of tea-themed illustration and graphic design prints to raise funds for the London Chinese Community Centre, which faces the threat of permanent closure. Featuring 55 creatives including many, many recognisable names, the initiative chose the theme of tea due to its importance in all cultures, pertinently Chinese culture, and how it encourages people to come together, chat and learn more about one another – much-needed now with the spike in anti-Asian hate crime. “Only through empathetic cultural discourse like this can we stop the spread of racism and xenophobia,” says the team.
