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.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
