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 poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.

One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
