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 short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
