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.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
