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 panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.

Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…

A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
