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.

Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
The first of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
These simple, one-take videos, relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East via the most basic of means (a hotel room, a camcorder, John’s personal thoughts, concerns and convictions).
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
