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.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces

A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
