Amaralina Ramalho Alvarez is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Her practice explores the political dimension of the ephemeral and of transmission, questioning the relationships between time, memory, and the body. She has participated in several group exhibitions, including Souviens-toi de nous quand tu regardes, presented in partnership with LABARD and the Georges-Vanier Cultural Centre. Her work has also been featured at the RIPA — Performance actuelle festival, in a public art project led with the City of Chambly, as well as at the 8th edition of the Artch Festival at Place Ville Marie. In 2027, she will present her first solo exhibition at the Georges-Vanier Cultural Centre. Amaralina also works as an illustrator and cultural mediator, and she is currently completing her studies in Visual and Media Arts at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Her project addresses the continuities of colonial dynamics through past and contemporary agricultural systems, drawing parallels between the commercialization of tropical fruits – particularly those from Latin America – and the dynamics of local trade and agriculture.
It unfolds through three interconnected components: archival research, a residency in an agricultural setting, and the activation of a repurposed fruit cart conceived as a mobile space for creation, mediation, and poetic resistance.
