Up All Night
Part of Sacred Grounds: From Soil to Soul—a weeklong experience by Sip & Sonder celebrating coffee, culture, and connection in Mexico City.
Immerse yourself in an evening where sound, taste, and culture intertwine as we close out the week’s experiences. Up All Night brings together guided coffee tastings, specially curated coffee cocktails, and a vinyl listening experience curated by Paris McCoy—a sound archivist weaving analog ritual and digital design to create immersive soundscapes that bridge cultural memory and innovation. As the needle meets the record, each sip and sound becomes part of a shared ritual—honoring land, lineage, and lived experience.
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.
