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 public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
