THE GATHERING | Midday Reverie
Part of Sacred Grounds: From Soil to Soul—a weeklong experience by Sip & Sonder celebrating coffee, culture, and connection in Mexico City.
The Gathering is the culminating celebration of Sacred Grounds: From Soil to Soul—a communal day of ritual, art, coffee, and connection at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery. Featuring different cultural guides, this closing event invites guests to honor the week’s shared experiences, reflect on ancestral ties, and celebrate the sacred act of coming together over coffee.
Join us for Midday Reverie, a midday gathering at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery’s restaurant Pánuco 36 where food, coffee, and sound meet in ritual and reverie. Enjoy Pánuco 36’s specially curated menu blending French and Mexican flavors, sip on coffee cocktails and tastings from Sip & Sonder, and vibe out to an immersive sound journey by Paris McCoy—a sound archivist weaving analog ritual and digital design. It’s an afternoon to savor, connect, and let the senses lead.
Guests are encouraged to also make a separate reservation at Pánuco 36.
about paris mccoy
Paris McCoy is a transmedia artist and cultural futurist whose work examines the evolving relationship between technology, identity, and collective memory. Rooted in Los Angeles, her practice traverses storytelling, design, and speculative media to explore how culture is archived, remixed, and reimagined in the digital era.
Drawing from both analog traditions and emerging technologies, McCoy creates works that blur the boundaries between research and ritual, inviting audiences into participatory spaces of reflection, sound, and visual experimentation. Her projects often consider questions of authorship, belonging, and innovation, reframing how communities engage with the tools that shape their narratives.
Grounded in a philosophy of cultural continuity, McCoy’s work imagines the future as a living archive, where creative practice becomes a form of preservation, and preservation becomes a site of possibility.
