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 dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.

Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Usurper luddite twins’ disabled instruments play a game of pick-up-sticks with the deconstructed horn of a young Derby opponent.
