Arika presents Episode 11: To End the World As We Know It
Tramway, Glasgow
Wednesday 13 - Sunday 17 November 2024

Is this world coming to an end?

Can we start to know and practice the world to come?

Episode 11 brings together five days of film, performance, music, discussion and study to think through our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the ecological and social devastations of a capitalistic, colonial and imperialist worldview that has been obliterating other worlds for over 400 years— to practice how we might exist otherwise, right here and now.

This year’s programme will include contributions from: Ailton Krenak | Karrabing Film Collective | Elizabeth Povinelli | Leanne Betasamosake Simpson | Robyn Maynard | Denise Ferreira da Silva | Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri | Houria Bouteldja | Beatriz Santiago Muñoz | Emilia Beatriz | Geni Núñez | Mezna Qato & Sadia Shirazi | Hussein Mitha | Ligia Lewis | Amilcar Packer

Music programme in collaboration with Counterflows: Chuquimamani-Condori | Rashad Becker | Sunik Kim | Nat Raha & Ailie Ormston

Full programme will be announced later in September, with tickets on sale in October. 💙

Produced by Arika. Supported by: Creative Scotland, Paul Hamlyn Foundation , Tramway, Glasgow Life and Canada House.

Arika joins over 80 Scottish organisations in an open letter to express our grave and deep concern over the Scottish Government’s failure to provide certainty surrounding the £6.6 million Grant in Aid budget for Creative Scotland, resulting in the abrupt closure of the Open Fund for Individuals, the primary route to public funding for Scottish Artists to develop their projects.

The resilience of Scotland’s cultural sector is not infinite. Artists cannot continue to bear the burden of delayed and inadequate support. We strongly urge the Scottish Government to recognise the severity of this situation and take immediate action to release the necessary funds to Creative Scotland, allowing the Open Fund for Individuals to be reinstated.
