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.

The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
