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.

Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.

A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
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.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
