Critical and intervening in the messages she conveys in her work, Rita GT approaches 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. GT has been showing her work in important institutions and galleries in Portugal, UK, Angola, South Africa, East-Timor, Nigeria, Brazil, Germany.
Rita GT is the co-founder of the e-studio Luanda project and the commissioner for the Angolan Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015).
Artist residency programs Rita GT won and participated in: Walk&Talk, Açores (2018-9), INOV-Art, Capacete residency, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, Brazil (2007-8) e Galeria ZDB, Lisboa (2006-7).
