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.
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.

Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Four perspectives from people involved in different anti-capitalist and anti-racist struggles, considering how ideas of ‘ending’ have shaped their political thinking and praxis.

What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
