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.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
