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 performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.

Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
