Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair

The Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair is run by a group of local anarchists and anarchic-organizers who are interested in cultivating a culture of autonomous and decentralized organizing in so-called ottawa. Our fair will have a mixture of literature (books, zines, etc.) relevant to anarchism/anti-oppression/organizing, community-run workshops & skillshares, and tabling from autonomous community groups and organizers.

We acknowledge that as settlers on these stolen, unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe lands we represent part of the problem and are committed to operating in solidarity with Indigenous resistance and organizing however we can. Additionally, we acknowledge the ways that power structures such as colonialism, racism, classism, misogyny, ableism, and queerphobia replicate themselves both inside and outside of activist spaces. As a collective, we aim to make this event as accessible as possible to those left behind by the state and mainstream society.
