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.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
