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 performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.

A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
