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.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
