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.

Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
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.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
