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.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Discussion: If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange” then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?
When one calls a strike, who hears the call, who attunes and listens to it? How to listen to the call of a strike? What prevents one from hearing this call or stops one from listening to it?
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
