Alba Rihe
Cultural agitator
(Les Franqueses del Vallès, 1988)
With a degree in Fine Arts and a diploma from the Independent Studies Programme (PEI) of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA), is presently completing a master’s degree in Cultural Management. She has developed several methodologies of work, which share a common thread, namely performance and the fusion of artistic tools to convey a message using the voice, the absurd, and bodily expression as its predominant elements. She defines herself as a “dyslectic clown to survive in a fractionated reality”.
She has performed in the solo show TODO FICCIÓN and, working with other artists, has taken part in several projects including the musical groups Las Bistecs and Venecia Flúor, as well as the live arts show COBALTO (2018) with Laila Tafur.
In the domain of education, she was director and coordinator of Habitació 1418, an action space for creative young people in which the CCCB and the MACBA also participated. Her other educational projects include Jornades JARL (performative visits to the MACBA collection), Art com resposta, Dibuixa copia i distribueix, and C.I.R.C.A., a somatic table game in which she works with Graner and secondary school students. She has also published her first collection of poems, Buguenvíl·lia.
Moreover, she has been MC at events like Orgullosa, La Mercè, Cabaret Clown, and Memefest (CCCB). She is presently engaged with the project Temporals together with her group Venecia Flúor.
