Wasted Rita is a Portuguese visual artist whose practice combines text, drawing, sculpture and installation to explore a critical and confessional perspective on contemporary life. Known for her sharp, ironic voice, her work reflects a love–hate relationship with the world, blending sarcasm, vulnerability and dark humour.

Since 2011, she has presented her work in exhibitions, institutions and art events across Europe, North America and Asia, including venues such as MAAT (Lisbon), Dismaland (UK) and Underdogs Gallery (Lisbon). She maintains a long-standing collaboration with Underdogs, including several exhibitions, edition releases and public art interventions.

±MAISMENOS± is the artistic project of Miguel Januário, a Portuguese designer and visual artist whose practice focuses on civic, political and social intervention at the intersection of art, design and public space. Developed over more than two decades, the project has become a reference in contemporary urban art, using language as a central tool to question systems of power, ideology and collective behaviour. Working across multiple media – including installation, painting, video and performance – his work has been presented in exhibitions, institutions and public space interventions in Portugal and internationally. He maintains an active collaboration with various cultural and civic institutions.

Rita João co-founded, with Pedro Ferreira, the multidisciplinary design studio Pedrita Studio, based in Lisbon since 2005. The studio’s practice includes art direction, spatial design, conceptual art installations, NFTs, and tile panels. These panels, abstract compositions of color and texture that combine discontinued Portuguese tiles from the 1960s onwards, express the studio’s strong connection to tile-making and its ability to transform memories of the past into a contemporary language.

Rita João studied Design in Lisbon and in Delft. She began her professional career in 2002 in the 3D department of Fabrica, the communication research center of the Benetton group. She is co-author of the book Fabrico Próprio – o design da pastelaria semi-industrial portuguesa. Between 2015 and 2018, she taught Spatial Design at ESAD Caldas da Rainha and is currently a lecturer in the Design degree at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon.

Nuno Viegas, also known as Metis, is a Portuguese visual artist based in Quarteira - Algarve. His practice is deeply rooted in graffiti culture, spanning painting, public interventions and large-scale murals. His work explores the tension between the raw energy of traditional graffiti and its refined, controlled representation in studio practice. After studying Visual Arts at the University of Algarve, he lived in Rotterdam, where he further developed his artistic language. His work has since been presented internationally in galleries, institutions and urban art contexts, collaborating with platforms such as Urban Nation (Berlin), Thinkspace Gallery (Los Angeles), and Yasha Young Projects. Nuno Viegas maintains an ongoing collaboration with Underdogs, which includes exhibitions, editions and public art interventions.
