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.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
An open collaborative workshop space in which games, warm-up sessions, exercises and scenes are potentially the same thing, through which to project your own concerns onto the stage.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
