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.
GIO’s bottomless throat, Blood Stereo’s slobber gobbler and the Mouth Of The South tangle tonsils over Steve McCaffrey’s Carnival
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?

How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
