A session that reflects on the axes that have run through the Higo Mental project over the last ten years. Both in its contents - the internet as an archive, infrastructures and anti-fascism, the image beyond representation - and in its forms - creation and collective experience, presence, feminist self-management in the Barcelona context. Throughout the session, the audiovisual materials that will make up the index of a future choral publication will appear.

With the participation of Higo Mental

Higo Mental (Ricardo Pérez-Hita and Marta Sesé) is a collective born in 2014 that develops, from artistic practice and social research, a body of critical thought on images and imaginaries, especially focused on visual culture and the Internet Archive. Its practice focuses on the realisation of performative conferences in the form of a videological dialogue in which the alternation of materials creates a critical narrative that questions the hegemonic system of representation. This format has been taken to different spaces and institutions such as MNAC, Arts Santa Mònica, FOC, Pols, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Las Cigarreras, Fira de Tàrrega, Homesession and CA2M, among others. They have also developed projects in the educational field, such as those carried out at MACBA (Tranquila, es solo arena, 2022; P2P. Tenen cos els streamers?, 2023), at Can Felipa (Espigolar el Poblenou, 2021/2022) or at the Sala d'Art Jove (Al servei d', 2021).
