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.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.

Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.

Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
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.

A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
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.
