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.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Ellis’s processional, precessional cessation and continuation of movement and music comes to us via his forthcoming release Aster of Ceremonies (Milkweed Editions, 2023)
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Gravitational Feel is an engine for intensifying the differentiation of our entanglement, which you continually reprogramme in the mutual rub, shift and lap of its sonic, wooden, steel, textile and human material.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
