Days of autonomous politics and culture
ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR AND FESTIVAL
13. – 15. May 2011, Delavski dom – Worker’s house Trbovlje, Slovenia
Federation for anarchist organizing is
hosting the Days of autonomous politics and culture event in the month
of May. The event which will on one hand be a fair of different ways of
independent production – it will feature domestic and international
publishers, groups and distributors showcasing their material – while on
the other hand it will be a festival incorporating workshops,
discussions, cultural program and plain old fun. The event will take
place in Delavski dom (Workers home) Trbovlje between 13th and 15th of
May. Entry is ofcourse free. Anarh, as the event is named, is intended
for everybody, young and old, workers and students, activists and
supporters, as well as anyone else interested in libertarian political
thought, culture and activism.
The general crisis that is
tearing the fabric of society apart is not the consequence of cynical
games played by corrupted individuals, rather it is the direct and
inevitable consequence of capitalism itself, even heightened in its
neoliberal form. It creates chronic insecurity as it undermines social
rights. It encourages heedless exploitation which in turn increases
social inequalities and gives rise to poverty. That process is the
reason for our conviction that broad and radical social changes are
necessary in the organization of society itself. The Anarh event is
organized in line with that conviction. On the one hand it offers an
opportunity to strengthen cooperation between existing autonomous groups
and our allies, while on the other hand it aims to present anarchist
ideas to the general public. Anarh seeks to open up public space where
it will be possible to publicly raise important issues and where
different initiatives can come together and find common ground.
The location of the event carries
powerfull symbolism. Trbovlje, an industrial town in Zasavje have a long
and powerfull tradition of workers and anti-fascist struggle. The event
itself will be held in the Delavski dom (Workers home), which was built
in comemoration of past struggles. Trbovlje however do not sleep on
their past achievements. It is the center of ecological activism against
the French giant multinational Lafarge, which is by its pollution,
daily destroying the environment and peoples health. It is hard to think
of a more fitting location to inspire our actions.
The Anarh event will open in the
afternoon of Friday 13th of May with the unveiling of the fair of
independent production. It will encompass books, newspapers and other
publications with anarchist or related thematic, but also a significan
amount of other material – from music to clothes – all created
independently from the multinationals that try to run our lives. There
will be a number of side events, from workshops to movie projections.
The central events will be two public
discussions. First one will take place on Friday and is meant to adress
local issues. We will discuss different forms of local autonomous
organization and the sucesses they achieved, while also looking for new
ways of cooperation and new forms of solidarity for future action. The
second one will take place on Saturday. It will feature discussion on
the role of anarchism today. Members of anarchist groups from all over
Europe will discuss their views and experiences. It is important to note
that both events are meant to be open discussions, therefore we
encourage active participation.
All relevant information is
available on our website or through our contact person. Anarh remains
open to new suggestion or ideas. We call on you to join us!

An open call to anarchist groups/organizations and individuals, anarchist publishers and distribution for participation
Federation for anarchist organizing (FAO),
an anarchist federation in Slovenia, is organizing an anarchist
bookfair and festival in Trbovlje, small industrial city about one hour
drive from capital city Ljubljana. It is a historical sight of many
antifascist and workers struggles throughout late 19th and entire 20th
century, but lately the focus of local people is – beside social
questions – mostly on the ecological issues.
The main concept of our event is bookfair with anarchist
literature/materials, cultural events, market with ecological products,
public kitchen, different workshops (about ecological, women issues
etc.) and perhaps most importantly two big panel discussions with guests
from Slovenia and abroad about open issues of capitalism and anarchist
alternatives to it.
On the last day, we are planning to have
a general assembly where we will write a joint statement from the event
that we are hoping will become annual. We are expecting many guests
from entire Slovenia, and of course abroad, especially Balkans but also
other parts of Europe. We would like the event to be the meeting point
for local people, activists from Slovenia and abroad, a common space for
reflection of current situation and our involvement in it.
We would like to invite you to support this event with your materials and participation!
The stalls are free of charge; we are also arranging free
accommodations for the visitors from abroad. We would like to host
people/groups with anarchist distributions (especially literature), but
if somebody has interests in other areas let us know. We are also
interested in your participation at the discussions and workshops. Any
other ideas are welcome!All the informations you need (also about how to get to Trboljve) will be soon published on our website. Please contact us if you are interested in participation or if you have any other questions or proposals.
