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.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
