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.

UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
