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.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
