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.
This closing session will be a space for reflection and feedback. We can discuss ways we can share what we’ve learned and explored with our wider communities. We can talk about if we want to do more sessions and /or projects together.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Argument is a provocative, multi-layered film essay, a trenchant analysis of the media and remains a critically relevant and critically inflammatory tract.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
