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.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?

A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
