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 101 panel on sex work in Scotland, hosted by Scotland for Decrim and National Ugly Mugs
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Audio signals pass through light bulbs, causing the filaments of the bulbs to sing and crackle in a chorus of electronic static.
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.
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
