Maria Thereza Alves: Seeds of Change
edited by Carin Kuoni & Wilma LukatschWith contributions from Katayoun Chamany, Seth Denizen, Jean Fisher, Yrjö Haila, Richard William Hill, Heli Jutila, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Lara Khaldi, Carin Kuoni, Wilma Lukatsch, Tomaž Mastnak, Marisa Prefer, and Radhika Subramaniam.
“Seeds of Change addresses urgent questions of resistance to the homogenization of life itself. By reimagining the historical geography of the contemporary world, Maria Thereza Alves practices globalization from below to understand the planet as a holistic ecology. Seeds of Change tracks the routes of transport of goods and people while making visible the dormant potentialities of soil, seas, and people”
—Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Director of the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in Torino
