Now in its fourth year, the New York City Anarchist Book Fair is one of the biggest events of its kind in North America. New York's anarchist community will host a weekend festival of community, cooperation, and insurrection including:

-a day-long book fair and arts show;
-two days of speakers, panels, and workshops;
-a film festival, and
-an interactive and participatory Anarcho Art Lab with installations, music, performance, dance, and video art,

all devoted to building a free society without the state and without capitalism.

The New York City Anarchist Book Fair is free to the public. It is for activists to connect with each other and for anyone who wants to explore the vibrant world of anarchist political organizing, action, and art. And it is for kids, with child care and creative activities for children provided. Exhibitors – over 50 of them – will include independent publishers and music labels, zinesters, and designers.

Panels, workshops, and infotables will cover anarchist response to the economic crisis and the continued corporatization of everyday life, struggles for life and livelihood within low-income communities and by people of color in the U.S. and around the world, and new models of anti-authoritarian organizing.
