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 conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.

A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
