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.

Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Do ideas emerging from particle physics help to re-think of blackness as a mode of life in which it’s possible to practice difference without separation?
These simple, one-take videos, relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East via the most basic of means (a hotel room, a camcorder, John’s personal thoughts, concerns and convictions).
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
