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.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
Free-jazz chat with Sabir Mateen, Daniel Cater, Andrew Barker – hosted by Byron Coley.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
