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 delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).

Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
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?
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
