Ricardo Pérez-Hita Carrasco (Barcelona, 1992) works in the area of artistic mediation and community culture, combining collective practices with his solo work.

He researches sound composition and musical remixing, through projects such as C500 and CrisCris, which have led him to present his work in “Hugs are underestimated, never undervalued” by Gracias por su Visita a EtHall, as part of Art Nou 2019 and “Estat previ” by Platform Harakat at Es Baluard. He took part in a production called Error Code: 502 Proxy Error in collaboration with Helena Vinent, doing the live sound for the opening video performance of the exhibition “Produir, produir, produï(t)” (LOOP, 2018).

He is part of the Higo Mental group, a project with a feminist perspective for performing audiovisual material taken from the internet. It has been active since 2014 and has been in venues such as Storm And Drunk (Madrid), Etopía Centro de Arte y Tecnología (Zaragoza), the Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo (Móstoles) and Homesession (Barcelona).

He is a founder member of the LaLaberinta cooperative, with which he develops educational and cultural mediation projects from the perspective of responsibility with the local area. The projects he has carried out include “Relats de l’Arnau” and “Creuem el Paral·lel”, for Arnau Itinerant, and BornLab, Laboratori Ciutadà de Memòries, for El Born CCM.

School Verdaguer

This is the third year running that IES Verdaguer (Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, Ciutat Vella) is taking part in IN RESiDENCE. Once again, it is doing so with a group of 4th-year compulsory secondary education (ESO) students. Adrian Schindler (2018-2019) and Lo Relacional (2019-2020) developed the creation processes in previous editions.

The Institut Verdaguer is situated within Ciutadella Park. The building was constructed between 1716 and 1748 as part of the Ciutadella (‘citadel’ in English), the fortress built in the old La Ribera neighbourhood on the orders of Philip V and designed by the Flemish military engineer George Prosper Verboom (1665-1744). Only three buildings of the original complex have survived: Parliament, La Capella and the Institut Verdaguer, all of them in the French neoclassical style. In 1932, during the Second Republic, it became a secondary school run by the Government of Catalonia.
