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.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
We’ll look more at psycho-emotional health – exploring experiences as opposed to diagnoses. And exploring collective care and collective healing.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
