From the word sympínein, "to drink together", evening sessions inspired by the ancient Greek practice of gathering around wine and food to discuss philosophical questions. An opportunity to explore some of the foundational texts and theories that shape our notions of beauty today.

Anitra Lourie received her doctorate in Art and Aesthetics from Sorbonne University. Her research examines how contemporary women artists engage with new media and narrative forms to construct critical and reflexive identities. She has taught philosophy of art at Sorbonne University – Paris 1 Panthéon for the past five years and currently teaches media history at Parsons Paris. Her writing has appeared in international journals and catalogues including Science du Design, PLASTIK, Design in Translation, OKLinz, and Intersections at Oxford University Press.
