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 session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod.

It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
