September 10, 2026 “Colombia: Coffee, Culture and Community ”
Presented by Carrie Pilmer and Ana Gomez
Explore Colombia through the lens of coffee, tracing its journey from cup to bean: beginning in the vibrant, transformed city of Medellín and traveling into the Andean foothills to meet the communities whose labor, traditions, and landscapes bring one of the world’s favorite drinks to life. Along the way, this presentation highlights hot springs, local culture, mountain landscapes, and everyday moments that reflect the richness and diversity of contemporary Colombia.
