How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A performed installation by one of Germany’s most interesting visual artists, based on edited transcripts of the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem and the writings of Hannah Arendt
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Taking our festivals south of the border to The Sage Gateshead we set out to offer a few cardinal pointers in the vast array of experimental music practices.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Arika is proud to be one of several arts organisations in Scotland supporting the commissioning of a radical new manifesto, by and for disabled artists working in Scotland.
