<div>Dear friends and colleagues, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are delighted to send you this invite to the Zooetics+ Symposium that commences April 27-28, 2018 at MIT. The Zooetics+ Symposium will discuss the habits of thought associated with cybernetics and the transition towards new thinking, inspired
 by sympoietics.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Zooetics+  invites renowned scholars, artists, philosophers, scientists, anthropologists and cultural theorists to address cohabitation of human and other forms of life as an urgent issue that unfolds through a variety of discourses: indigenous
 and vernacular knowledge, posthumanism, and human-animal studies, among others. Zooetics+ proposes re-imagining the role of ecosystemic thinking and artistic imagination in this context. Please find the Symposium description in the link below:</div>
<div><a href="http://act.mit.edu/projects-and-events/events/public-programs/international-symposium-on-zooetics/" target="_blank">http://act.mit.edu/projects-<wbr>and-events/events/public-<wbr>programs/international-<wbr>symposium-on-zooetics/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Zooetics+ is part of ACT’s program recognizing the 50th anniversary of the founding of the renowned MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS), a predecessor to ACT.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Symposium is free and open for public (registration is required though). You are welcome to share this opportunity with your colleagues and students. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward seeing you at Zooetics+ Symposium at MIT!</div>
<div>best wishes,</div>
