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 series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
