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 celebration of the release of four books written by members of, and focused on about the House and Ballroom scene.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
