How are coffee beans transformed from a field crop into our daily cup of energy? A new exhibit at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures offers a photographic explanation. The People of the Coffee Highlands of Nicaragua features images by Claudia Gordillo, a Nicaraguan photographer.
The images provide a panoramic view of coffee production and a glimpse of the people involved in the picking, sorting, washing, drying and roasting stages that ultimately realize coffee production.
The photography is co-sponsored by the Office of Global Educational Programs, U.S. Department of State and IU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. The exhibit continues through May 27 at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, 416 N. Indiana Ave., Bloomington. The exhibit hall and store are open Tuesdays through Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.
