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.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A series of badly felted lock-ups and garages + multiple locations within the Megastructure – a purpose built town centre in one building, comprising (in the 50’s at least) of housing (never occupied), shops, apartments, a hotel, ice rink, police station and other amenities
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Join Umbrella Lane and special guest migrant trans sex workers in a community discussion about the points of intersection in LGBT people’s rights and sex worker’s rights.
Can our favourite Vegas-born poet of prophetic blackness and a South Central transmuter of social rage into beauty feel through each other?
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
