A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Arika is proud to be one of several arts organisations in Scotland supporting the commissioning of a radical new manifesto, by and for disabled artists working in Scotland.
A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.

A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
