Rita Andrade was born and lives in Lisbon. She holds a degree in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon (2020) and a master's degree in Art and Politics from Goldsmiths, University of London (2022). She also attended the intensive Fundamentals of Drawing course at the Barcelona Academy of Art (2017).
A visual artist with a strong social commitment, Rita develops a practice centered on the transformative power of art as a form of peaceful communication and critical reflection. Her work addresses issues related to human rights and power dynamics, drawing on field research and experiences in countries such as Palestine and Honduras. Rita seeks to engage the viewer in a profound dialogue, encouraging self-reflection and questioning of the individual's role in society.
