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.
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.

Social and party with all proceeds going to the Unity Centre, featuring DJ SETS with Dj@Christelle, DJ D-Harsh, Nena Etza & Moor Mother.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
