Joana Rita (she & whatever) is a transdisciplinary artist & researcher mostly based in the Iberian Peninsula. Her work is centered on practices for inhabiting damaged ecologies and imagining livable futures. She shapeshifts between theory and practice and different artistic mediums to activate magic, the sensing body and collective imagination.

At Sable, she investigated and worked on bits and pieces of an immersive performance-installation she has been developing which included playing with mirrors, setting up a loom-portal with entangled oracles for weaving and unweaving as well as sharing with other artists through conversations and deep laughter.

Joana Rita is currently pursuing a doctoral research between artistic practices, ecology and intersectional/queer feminism at the University of Lisbon.

She loves being in, with and alongside bodies of water, stargazing and sharing communal meals by candlelight.
