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.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
What’s the relationship between the eternal hum of the oceanic beloved and the persistence of vorticity in fluid dynamics? And how does Alice Coltrane’s harp help us stay there?
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
