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 preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Loïc and Marc are proposing a series of investigations into the tension between improvisation and recording and how it can be used to engage with different spaces and environments around Dundee
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
“The miracle of Herman Melville is this: that a hundred years ago in Moby Dick…he painted a picture of the world in which we live, which is to this day unsurpassed.” – C. L. R. James
