GAZ COFFEE build #1

"GAZ COFFEE build #1" turns the café patio into a platform for discussions on imperialism, labor, ideology, trade, and geopolitics. A Soviet 1969 GAZ 69A serves tropicalized Russian espresso drinks in a nod to a Cold War era trade deal between the Soviet and Colombian governments.

The Cold War era was marked with several coffee shortages for the Soviets and the Eastern Bloc. One of those shortages prompted the GAZ for a coffee deal at the end of the 1960s. On specified dates during the exhibition, "GAZ COFFEE build #1" will be activated to serve coffee.
