Aline Xavier is a multidisciplinary artist often developing research based projects. Her pieces result from her immersion in different cultural contexts, mostly in territories of the Global South. In her practice, she activates networks of people and places, addressing natural, social and political aspects of our times.

Her work has been exhibited at institutions including Inhotim, Museu da Pampulha, Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP), Württembergischer Kunstverein (WKV), Berlinale Talents, Zeitz MOCAA, Kunsthal Kade, among others. She has also taken part in international residency programs, most notably at Akademie Schloss Solitude and the Cité internationale des arts (In Situ Residency Program 2023–24).
