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.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.

This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Beat poet Ira Cohen’s now infamous and wildly psychedelic film odyssey feeds one’s own seeing apparatus through beautifully warped and distorting mylar mirrors, resulting in a film dense and rich with visual arcana and poetry.
