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.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.

During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
