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 prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
