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.
First live show outside the USA featuring one-off film pieces and live theatre from the ringleaders of the ‘weird new America’ psych folk explosion.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
The first of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
