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.
Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
