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 sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
