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 temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.

Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”
