Artist and researcher. His practice spans essayistic writing and performance, encompassing creation, teaching, research, and the curation of public programmes. He has organised a series of lecture-performances exploring the relationship between language and geology, presented internationally across art spaces, theatres, and academic contexts: Antropocenas (2017) with João dos Santos Martins, Geofagia (2018), and Fóssil (2020). One of his most recent works — Spillovers (2023) — proposes a fabulated, collective reinterpretation of Lesbian Peoples: Material for a Dictionary (1976), an iconic text of lesbian feminism by Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig. He has published academic articles, artists’ texts, and edited independent publications related to his research. In 2019, at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Ritó co-organised a programme of Indigenous cinema with Indigenous filmmakers and curators, in collaboration with a collective platform of researchers and activists in Portugal, including Ailton Krenak. Since 2020, Ritó has been the coordinator of Terra Batida. He is a member of Associação Parasita, a non-profit organisation supported by the Portuguese Ministry of Culture.
