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.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
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?).
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
