In the spirit of building self-governing alternative systems necessary for a non-capitalist existence, NYC Anarchist Book Fair 2021 offer these workshops to lay the groundwork for new worlds based on anarchist principles of solidarity, mutual aid, autonomy, cooperation, direct action, and free association.
There will be various workshops presented by a wide spectrum of activists, scholars, poets, artists, radical healers, communities, and groups. Workshops range across theory and praxis, and participants can expect to engage in discussion, knowledge, skill, and information exchange on issues such as food autonomy, anarchist justice systems, ecological liberation and regeneration, resistance organizing, indigenous solidarity, decolonizing presents and futures, abolition, radical communal care, international anarchist movements, anti-state repression, and a wide array of anarchist histories and practices.
WORKSHOPS ON OCTOBER 2nd WILL BE IN PERSON.
