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.

Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.

Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.

Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
