A-Infos (en) US - 4th Annual NYC Bookfair April 17, 2010 11am-7pm

Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South, Manhattan New York City, a center of 
anarchist life, culture, struggle, and ideas for 150 years, will host its 4th annual NYC 
Anarchist Book Fair, a one-day exposition of books, zines, pamphlets, art, film/video, and 
other cultural and very political productions of the anarchist scene worldwide, on April 
17, 2010, at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan. In addition there will be two days of 
panels, presentations, workshops, and skillshares on April 17 and 18 to provide further 
opportunities to learn more and share your own experience and creativity. ---- The goal of 
the book fair is to enable people to connect with one another as well as to provide 
broader access to the rich and varied field of anarchist ideas and practices. Now is the 
perfect time to be exploring those ideas and practices and bringing them into play in our 
communities and the world.

We are calling for all anarchist publishers, zinesters, film/videographers, artists and 
all members of the worldwide anarchist community. Come meet local anarchists and others 
from all over the globe looking to connect with other anarchists. Whether you are an old 
anarchist with deep ties and knowledge or anarcho-curious and looking to find out more 
about anarchy, the book fair is for you. The 4th Annual Anarchist Book Fair is a place 
where the ideas, activism, ethics, creativity and history of the contemporary anarchist 
movement come together in an exciting weekend of community and collaboration.
