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 of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A dismantled, performed film, where a narrator pieces together the sounds, images and storytelling of a documentary about Hurricane Katrina before a live audience.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
