A Call to Council - Conversation with Maria Thereza Alves & Giovanni Aloi
Join artist and author Maria Thereza Alves and plant studies scholar and author Giovanni Aloi in this online conversation by The Plant Initiative.
In an era of climate change, extractivist economies, and forced mobility, who and what belongs?
Throughout her prolific career, Brazilian artist Maria Thereza Alves has focused precisely on this question. Perhaps her most iconic, generative, and expansive work is Seeds of Change, a twenty-year investigation into the hidden history of ballast flora—displaced plant seeds found in the soil used to balance shipping vessels during the colonial period.
