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 kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
Is there a link between the ways we’re caged and exiled by the prison-industrial complex and the ways people’s bodies are violently categorised and segregated by race, class, gender or ability?
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
