Elia Rita is a Spanish artist researching movement culture as part of her walking-centered practice. In 2021, she will be conducting movement and sound art workshops, alongside her collaborator Sergio Lecuona, at the homeless shelter Centro San Joan de Déu València, as part of a socially-engaged project curated by the CCCC Museum. In 2020, she was chosen to be part of GOL (Observation Group for the Local artistic practice), as a representative of the Valencian emerging live art artists; additionally, she nurtured her walking and movement practice by attending the Shepherds School (Inland) and studying human anatomy at the Physical Therapy School of her hometown, Valencia.
