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.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
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.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
