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.

Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.

A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?

A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
