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 chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
The second edition of the INSTAL festival broadened it’s scope to include performances from Francisco Lopez, Phil Niblock, Stefan Mathieu, Alva Noto, Ryoji Ikeda and John Wall.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
