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.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
An open collaborative workshop space in which games, warm-up sessions, exercises and scenes are potentially the same thing, through which to project your own concerns onto the stage.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
