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.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.

A 101 panel on sex work in Scotland, hosted by Scotland for Decrim and National Ugly Mugs
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
