ANTIUNIVERSITY NOW x ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR IN LONDON 2021

The Antiuniversity is an ongoing programme of self-organised radical learning and mutual education events. It is a collaborative experiment to challenge academic and class hierarchy – in, outside and against existing institutional structures.

Anyone can organise an Antiuni event in any format, anywhere!

For 2021, we are joining forces with the Anarchist Bookfair in London to bring together a week-long Antiuniversity Festival from the 4th to the 10th of September and the Anarchist Bookfair in London on the 11th and 12th of September.

This year, events will take place in-person or/and in virtual spaces. For those ready to move towards in-the-flesh happenings, we gently remind you to plan things in respect of covid-19 guidelines and everyone’s comfort zones.

Just realised the backbone of the UK bookfair scene (AK Press, Active Distro and PM Press) aren't tabling. This is unheard of. Something must have happened.

I usually stay away from workerists, but this guy has got some shocking testimony here and I'd standing with him if I was in the UK.

Bright's one of the very few in London comfortable speaking in public as is his usual partner in crime Lisa McKenzie. Will probably end up doing some myself.. The rest are fucking introverts who need to get laid.

and some areas don't have a lot of space options, so have acceded to that demand. i think i've heard of this once before in the u.s.

yeah, it might be a standard condition of renting/using the space. like, when you called them up to book, they hit you with "so what's your detailed covid plan?"

but then, putting on events these days is a fucking minefield for a whole lotta reasons.

The organisers had been considering using private security guards since pre-Covid to manage the terfs and anarchoterfs.

By “private cops” do you mean ‘comrades who don’t want terfs at their events?’ Of course you do.
