The world of authority is showing its ugliest face. It is a time of the crudest of power politics, unbridled plundering of the earth, the subjugation of life to technology, digitalisation and economic efficiency. We are confronted with the ultimate expression of state brutality: universal militarisation and war.
Instead of folding back out of fear or defeat, or choosing the lesser evil, we fully embrace our anarchist ideas and anti-authoritarian ethics. No kneeling before politics and compromise, but a search for our possibilities for autonomous struggle, with the desire for freedom as our compass. In a world where state violence and authoritarianism run rampant, our gathering of analogue resistance and solidarity is more necessary than ever.
At the Anarchist Book Fair you will discover a wide and diverse range of books, publications, t-shirts, posters and stickers. Rummage in old novels, revolutionary classics and new editions from various distros. From philosophical works to proposals for struggle.
The book fair is more than just a place to indulge your book-collecting urge. It is a place of exchange and discussion, a place where ideas, individuals and collectives can meet and find each other in affinity. This way the Book Fair becomes a space where calls for struggle, through discussion and informal encounters, find new inspiration and momentum.
Welcome on the 9th and 10th of May 2026 at the Book Fair. Until then — long live anarchy!
