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.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
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?).
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.

A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
