Join the Underdogs movement! Visit us now to explore exhibitions, public art projects, and exclusive artist editions that connect communities through creativity.
Established in 2010 and consolidated in its present form in 2013, Underdogs works with a diversified roster of Portuguese and international artists connected with the urban inspired contemporary art universe, fostering the development of close relationships between creators, the public, and the city with the aim of promoting art as an everyday experience.
These editions are released as part of The Studio, a five-week programme of artist residencies at Underdogs. At the time of purchase, the final image of each edition is intentionally not revealed. The visuals shown on this page are blurred, as the works are still in progress.
During their residencies at Underdogs, the artists will intervene on the editions in direct dialogue with the pieces they develop in the gallery. What you are acquiring is a work that continues to evolve over time. The final versions of all editions will be revealed on 15 May, at the opening of The Studio exhibition, as well as online.

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.
Mimixa 003.jpgis a glimpse into the vast archive of discarded digital matrices at Pedrita Studio. Throughout the process of testing and development, every matrix is preserved for later analysis. Often, unexpected results - born from intricate photo details or technical database constraints - reveal curious effects that eventually find their way into future artworks.
