Rita is a photographer and researcher originally from Lisbon, Portugal and now based in Nottingham, UK.
Her work centres themes of community, nature and belonging and their intersection with physical spaces. Rita's practice mainly involves analogue photography and darkroom printing of my work.
In the Summer of 2023 Rita took part in the University of Nottingham and Make it Easy Lab 2023 Residency Program. As part of the program Rita took part in a group exhibition hosted at Beam Gallery, Nottingham. Out of the six residents who took part in the program, she was one of the two chosen to extend the residency for further development of the project.
In the summer of 2024 she was one of the 14 photographers selected for a Portfolio Review with Magnum Photos at Recontre d’Arles 2024.
She is currently taking part in the East Meets West Masterclass for emergent UK photographers organised by Grain Projects, Format Festival and Quad Derby.
