We are happy to announce our friends on the “Victoria” Anarchist Bookfair Collective are holding the 20th Annual “Victoria” Anarchist Bookfair, happening on September 20th and 21st at the Fernwood Community Centre on unceded Lekwungen territory.
The Bookfair will include vendors, free workshops, and a Festival of Anarchy leading up to the weekend. Entrance is free.
“The Fernwood NRG is fully wheelchair accessible, and we will be providing free masks to everyone at our event. We aim to avoid replicating the barriers in society that derive from social oppression.”
You can find more information about this year’s Bookfair here.
For the next anarchist reading circle, we will be discussing Rebecca Solnit’s ‘A Paradise Built in Hell: The extraordinary communities that arise in disaster.’ During our last session we had a discussion about the whole ‘pessimistic/optimistic’ debate regarding human nature, whether or not our intrinsic sociability or orientation to help each other would arise in the event of system collapse (or if we even have such an orientation), etc.
