New York City Anarchist Book Fair
to celebrate 10th anniversary, Sat., April 16, 2016
NEW YORK—In the decade since it debuted in 2007, the NYC Anarchist Book Fair has become a premier event for anarchists from across North America and around the world, and a New York institution. It's a gathering place for the anarchist community, a forum for activists, scholars, and creative artists, and an opportunity for the curious to learn about an anti-state, anti-capitalist political tradition that's still alive and thriving and challenging the established order.
Each year, the NYC Anarchist Book Fair hosts over 60 exhibitors including publishers, writers, designers, artists, musicians, and organizers. Past line-ups of panels, workshops, and other presentations have included such figures as journalist Chris Hedges; cartoonists Seth Tobocman, Peter Kuper, and Fly; photographer and Native American activist Lenny Foster; scholar/activists David Graeber, Silvia Federici, and Martha Ackelsberg; civil rights lawyer and radio host Heidi Boghosian; and former Black Panther and anarchist Ashanti Alston.
Judson Memorial Church, at the south end of Washington Square Park—the neighborhood that is one of the birthplaces of the anarchist movement in the US—has hosted the NYC Anarchist Book Fair nearly every year, and will do so again in 2016.

Vai al commento: 1NYC Anarchist Book Fair Music Night
(date) Sunday, April 17th
(Time) 5:30 -10p m
(Location) Don Pedro
90 Manhattan Ave
Brooklyn, NY
The bands and musicians who will perform will be known shortly.
Sometimes in a large city such as New York, there exist some "community centers" staffed by well-meaning individuals who may allow rumors and other subjective information to be an obstacle to the free-exchange of ideas and this may work to the detriment of those who simply want to present
a cultural event to the public.
We work toward a better, more liberatory, revolutionary situation in the future.
Love to all.
thank you
