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.

A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).

Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
