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.

Dead Labour Process drool-tape farmer, squeaking/creaking Usurper brother and Peeesseye’s yodelling traps-man hold a real OUT splutter party.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
