Artist and researcher. Non-binary lesbian.<\/p>\n
Their practice spaces combine essayistic writing and performance, whether in creation, teaching, research or the organisation of public programmes. Rit\u00f3 has organised a series of lecture-performances dedicated to the relationship between language and geology, presented internationally in various artistic spaces, theatres and academic contexts: “Anthroposcenes” (2017) with Jo\u00e3o dos Santos Martins, “Geophagy” (2018), and “Fossil” (2020). One of their most recent works – “Spillovers” (2023) – proposes a fabled and collective reinterpretation of “Lesbian peoples: Material for a Dictionary” (1976), an iconic work of lesbian feminism by Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig. Rit\u00f3 holds a PhD in Artistic Studies and Anthropology with an FCT scholarship, focusing on the Anthropocene and perceptions of humanity-nature. Rit\u00f3 has a degree in Choreographic Arts (Paris VIII University) and a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (PUC-S\u00e3o Paulo). They have published academic articles, artists’ texts and independent publications linked to their research. In 2019, at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon, Rit\u00f3 co-organised an indigenous film exhibition with indigenous filmmakers and curators, together with a collective platform of researchers and activists from Portugal, namely Ailton Krenak. Since 2020, Rit\u00f3 has been the coordinator of Terra Batida (terrabatida.org<\/a>), a network of people, practices and knowledge in dispute with forms of ecological violence and policies of abandonment. Since 2023, they have been collaborating with the network least – an arts and ecology laboratory based in Geneva – on the project “Peau Pierre” (Stone Skin), a long-term project focusing on eco-queer pedagogies in co-creation with local associations.
