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 delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
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?
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
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.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
