HENRY RICHA IS AN ARTIST & RESEARCHER. BORN IN JOUNIEH, LEBANON, HE ATTENDED AND GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AT LYCÉE LIBANO-ALLEMAND WITH A FRENCH BACCALAUREATE. IN 2022, RICHA MOVED TO TIOHTIÀ:KE, MONTREAL, TO PURSUE HIS STUDIES AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, FOLLOWING A DOUBLE BACHELOR'S PROGRAM IN INTERMEDIA STUDIES (VIDEO, PERFORMANCE, ELECTRONICS) AND CONTEMPORARY DANCE.

RICHA QUICKLY FOUND HIS FEET, CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BACK AND FRONT OF THE CAMERA, PUTTING TOGETHER WITH HIS FRIENDS OVERSTIMULATING IMAGES PORTRAYING GEN Z'S SEARCH FOR IDENTITY. HEAVILY INSPIRED BY POPULAR CULTURE, HE USES IT AS A VISUAL LANGUAGE TO CONVEY HIS MESSAGES. IN THE FALL OF 2024, HENRY RICHA STARTED TO DEVELOP “FREAKS: THE LAST PARTY”: A 13-SCREEN VIDEO INSTALLATION. SINCE THEN, HIS PRACTICE HAS FOCUSED ON USING PARTYING AS A POLITICAL TOOL. IN MAY 2025, HE RECEIVED THE CONCORDIA UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AWARD TO CONTINUE ADVANCING HIS THESIS.

HIS WORKS INCLUDE THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR SOLO SHOW, 'LOUTEH', AT EMBASSY GALLERY (EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND), PARTICIPATION IN TALKS AS PART OF THE 25TH ART MATTERS FESTIVAL, AND A FEATURE IN MONTREAL’S 2025 EDITION OF NUIT BLANCHE, AMONG OTHER THINGS.
