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.
What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
A 2-day workshop to deconstruct our classed experiences and the ways in which we reproduce the same class system we fight against, in order to create a stronger, more egalitarian Scottish art sector.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
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?
