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 bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
The ongoing development of [b]reach, an abolitionist black queer retelling of Marge Piercy’s incredible feminist utopian novel Woman on the Edge of Time.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
