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.
What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
We’ll look at the language and politics of what gets ‘mental health’ and consider more holistic understandings of experiences that honour the connection between mind/body/soul, and that acknowledge social and political context.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
