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 solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.

For day three of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by Nancy Nevárez.
A whistle stop tour of visual and material culture that has anchored the sex workers rights movement through the decades until today.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
