Subversive, immersive, and partially submerged, Arka Kinari is a multimedia performance staged from the deck of a sailing ship, taking audiences on an immersive voyage through a world of distress and possibility, expressed through live electronic music and cinematic visual projections by the artists Filastine & Nova (Spain/Indonesia).

In an intimate documentary performance combining live video mixing, music and narration, Arka Kinari’s founding artists Nova Ruth & Grey Filastine tell the story behind the story. Together we’ll cross the wild seas, peak behind the fences of seedy ports, and survive in deserted radioactive atolls. Truth can be stranger than fiction.

The crew of Arka Kinari welcomes visitors - students, researchers, or the general public - onboard for a guided tour, focusing on the ship's systems for technical autonomy. How can we sustain life in a tiny floating world? And how can these methods be scaled up for life on spaceship Earth?

A series of performances recorded aboard Arka Kinari featuring rare and disappearing music from coastal communities encountered on our voyage.

Arka Kinari’s old wardrobe of sails get a new life as canvasses for six artworks by acclaimed and engaged artist from each of the world’s six major continents. Three sails are ready for exhibition.

Artists, activists, and researchers join the voyage of Arka Kinari for short residencies. A sea change.
