Maria Thereza Alves, colonial echoes This Beautiful Shot is Not an Accident

    • Performing Arts

Artist Maria Thereza Alves has been investigating the histories and circumstances of particular locations to bear witness to colonial stories that have been silenced. Her work makes visible the impacts of an economic practice that fails to view nature as alive: from documenting the intercontinental transportation of seeds to bringing to life a singular dying mountain in Brazil. In our conversation, we spoke about her placed-based artistic process and how it has evolved after moving to Berlin.
