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.
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
