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.

Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
