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.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Three panels offering opportunities to discuss how to build stronger alliances between the sex workers’ rights, migrants rights and reproductive justice movements and how to face, together, an increasingly punitive and reactionary system.
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
