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.

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
