<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear -empyre-,</div><div><br></div><div>One final note --<br><br></div>It
seemed so fitting to attend Maria Thereza Alves' keynote and exhibition
yesterday at the New School. It was a perfect ending to this past
month's discussion. For those of you in New York, it is not to be
missed. Alves' work Seeds of Change tracks capitalism through slave
ships and the ballast that was dumped at harbors, specifically the
dormant seeds that would take root in new harbors and create new
ecologies beneath our feet that we still tread upon. The soil of
capitalism is perfectly shown as history, material, living networks, and
metaphor. I've attached a few raw snaps from the show and there are a few more here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbDxRy8DNpS/?taken-by=the_doctor_and_the_spy">https://www.instagram.com/p/BbDxRy8DNpS/?taken-by=the_doctor_and_the_spy</a>.<br><br></div>Warmly and once again thank you,<br></div>-M</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br>--<br></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(204,204,204)"><a href="http://beforebefore.net" target="_blank">beforebefore.net</a><br><a href="http://guerrillagrafters.org" target="_blank">guerrillagrafters.org</a><br><a href="http://coastalreadinggroup.com" target="_blank">coastalreadinggroup.com</a></span><br><div>--</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
