Zita Pitoy is an Indonesian-born artist, researcher, and poet based in the Netherlands. Her practice investigates the ecologies of displacement and belonging through a decolonial lens, bridging ancestral memory with the realities of managed and engineered landscapes.

Working through expanded drawing as a primary methodology, she synthesizes environmental science, bio-acoustics, and visual poetry to trace the frictions between inherited knowledge and contemporary territorial realities. Deep mapping functions in her practice not as a cartographic tool but as a living platform for public conversation, open data, and non-extractive dialogue with the land.

Her research moves across diverse ecologies to examine how the body and the land remember one another, drawing on poetic inquiry and scientific data in equal measure.
