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.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift undertake two intensive writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and Hospitalfield in Arbroath.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
