Rita Silva is a portuguese artist working across photography and film, based in South East London. She holds an MA in Photography from Royal College of Art.
Her practice engages with sociological and autobiographical investigations, exploring the nature of care, illness, and death. Focusing on the everyday, relational care, and the politics of space, she examines how the porous body reveals systems of labour and vulnerability.
Drawing from oral history and folklore, she often performs gestures that blur the real and the fictional, the public and the private, reflecting on how identity is held, shared, and transformed across generations.
