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.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.

Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.

Glasgow based contemporary music group Paragon Ensemble performing an improvisation with Pete Dowling, Nick Fells, Robert Irvine and others.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
