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.

The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
