Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
One-shot sonic portraits of 4 houses, their inhabitants and their relationship to sound, from 2 of the most deep-thinking field-recording artists around.

Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
An open collaborative workshop space in which games, warm-up sessions, exercises and scenes are potentially the same thing, through which to project your own concerns onto the stage.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
