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.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Thirty lucky Instal punters experience Kylie’s pre-match aggro workout one-on-one in the darkness of an Arches dressing room.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
