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.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.

Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
Since the 1960’s Oliverios has had a profound influence on generations of musicians through her work with myth and ritual, improvisation and meditation.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
