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 new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
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.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
