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.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
A carefully thought out, simple but rich performance using just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
