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.

Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
