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.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
We commissioned Radu Malfatti to write a new piece for the 21-piece string section of the Northern Sinfonia: Music striving to discover the exact point at which sound resonates the clearest amidst long drawn out silences.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
