Early life and education

Maria Thereza Alves was born in São Paulo in 1961. When she was a child, her family moved to New York City to escape the dictatorship in Brazil. She attended Cooper Union, and graduated in architecture (BFA 1985).[3]

Career

In 1978, Alves presented at the United Nations Human Rights Committee meeting in Geneva on the indigenous population human rights abuses in Brazil.[3][5] She is a co-founder of the Partido Verde (or Green Party) of São Paulo in 1987.[3][5]

Her long-term art project Seeds of Change studies colonialism, slavery, migration, and the global commerce.[6][7] The series was started in 1999 and focuses on displaced plant seeds used to balance shipping vessels during the colonial period.[8] It has been held in port cities such as Marseille, Reposaari, Liverpool, Exeter–Topsham, Dunkirk, Bristol, New York City, and Antwerp.[7][9][8]

In 2016, she won the biennial Vera List Center Prize for Art and Politics.[7][10] Her work was part of the group exhibition "Disappearing Legacies: The World as Forest" (2018) at Charité medical university.[2] Alves has participated in Documenta (13), Manifesta 12, Sharjah Biennal in 2017, and the Biennale of Sydney in 2020.[3][11] In 2021, Alves with the mural "Witnesses" was chosen by Associazione Tevereterno Onlus and Fondazione Quadriennale to replace William Kentridge’s mural on the same spot on the Tiber in Rome.[12]
