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.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.

Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
