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.
The Truth and Lies book project emerges as part of a rising tide of sex worker art and organised struggle to end criminalisation and stigmatisation of sex work.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Haunted by the archive of the New Cross Fire, Jay Bernard presents a film and poetry reading that undertakes a queer exploration of black British history, reconstructed from archives and apparent debris.

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?
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
