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.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Gravitational Feel is an engine for intensifying the differentiation of our entanglement, which you continually reprogramme in the mutual rub, shift and lap of its sonic, wooden, steel, textile and human material.
Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Taking our festivals south of the border to The Sage Gateshead we set out to offer a few cardinal pointers in the vast array of experimental music practices.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
