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 series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.

A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.

What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An introduction to gender and embodiment for cisgender folk (i.e. those whose experience aligns with their assigned gender).
