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.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
