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.
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
Disused railway turning circle at east end of Union Terrace Gardens, a historically public space at the centre of a regeneration land-grab for the private gain of a local petro-chemical magnate.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
