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.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.

A historical narrative of the black and latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to its artistic practices.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
