Mazeredo, a native of Rio de Janeiro, has had her work shown internationally for thirty years. Some of her permanent exhibits are in prominent public spaces in multiple cities in Brazil, in Paris (La Mairie du 8e Arrondissement) and in Miami. She has established herself as one of the most socially conscious public artists in Brazil. The Instituto Mazeredo of Modern Art is a non-profit that the artist founded in Rio to promote arts and culture to impoverished youth. For more information, visit: http://institutomazeredo.com
