Solidarity Library is excited to present the 2nd Anarchist Bookfair to the Jaffa - Tel Aviv area.
Anarchist Bookfair is an anarchist community tradition that began in the 80s and is now held every year around the world. The fair is an independent organization of anarchist groups and communities around the world that seek to give a platform to radical anarchist texts and publications while creating an autonomous-collaborative space.
We, at 'Solidarity Library', bring this tradition to Jaffa-Tel Aviv for the 2nd time out of recognition of the importance of events of this type to the political-radical community around us, and out of a desire to expand the ideas we promote throughout the year in the library as a common and open space for learning, thinking and discussion regarding radical anti-authoritarian ideas and practices.
As Israeli political activists, we create this event out of an understanding and recognition of the political and social injustices that occur in the geo-political space in which we live and out of a desire to change it.
During the fair, you can find independent publishers with political content, local bookshops, fanzines publishers, and grassroots movements. During that time, people can join a lecture about different aspects of anarchism and activism in local contexts; Do it yourself workshops; Activities for kids, and more. Open and free entrance through the weekend.
This is a space that serves as an "island" where we and many can safely express political ideas that have been pushed out of the public, social and political discourse in Israel-Palestine. We hope in our doing we can create social, political, and economic alternatives that have been pushed to the margins and that call to challenge the arrangements and institutions that have been placed before us as a fact that goes hand in hand with inequality, occupation, sexism, transphobia, racism exploitation and oppression of the environment, animals and more.
The expansion of political discourse and radical content requires the creation of a safe and accessible space for all - during the fair, as in the general activity of the Solidarity Library, there is no place for racism, ableism, harassment of any kind, sexism, chauvinism, transphobia. This is an open space for families and friends of all ages, the fair itself is 100% vegan and animal friendly.
This is our time to meet, be inspired, share ideas, share thoughts and questions. We invite you to do this with us at the Solidarity Library and throughout the weekend at the first anarchist book fair in Yafa-Tel Aviv 2023
