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.

Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Kylie Minoise Vs Nackt Insecten feedback/ vocal physical threat ‘vs’ ecstatic electronic cloudbursts
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
Imagine entering a library where readers can borrow human beings serving as open books. Then select a book stack that specialises in sex work.
