Rita Gt (Porto, 1980) lives and works between Portugal and Angola.

Rita GT has a degree in Communication Design from Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Oporto (2003). Between 2004-2005 she did an advanced course in Visual Arts at Maumaus in Lisbon and at the moment she attends a MA program in Fine Arts from Malmö Art Academy – Lund University em Malmö, na Suécia. She is a critical and intervening artist, approaching themes such as memory, identity or the importance of human rights. Having lived in many different countries enables her to have a broader vision, valuing the historical points of view of many cultures. The colonial symbolism that is recurrent in her work defines her own identity and artistic language. The artist uses imagery, words and performance revealing a constant interrogation and experimentalism in both material and conceptual aspects.
