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.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
In which Storyboard P and members of Project X pick a song, freestyle to it, chat with us about what dancing means to them, then pick another song, freestyle, chat, repeat…
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
