This year's Los Angeles Anarchist Bookfair occurred on Saturday June 25 at Art Share L.A., a public space in downtown L.A.'s Arts District. (The event changes locations every year--last year's venue was Barnsdall Park-- but, of course, it always remains in L.A.) The event included information exchange vis-a-vis books and speakers, as well as art and food.
The speakers included �indigenous elders speaking about take-back-the-land struggles and resistance to a lot of colonial politics and institutionalized forms of racism that are implemented in Arizona as well as here in L.A.,� reported Liz, one of the organizers (as seen in one of the videos at the link below).
Also, �[T]here's a workshop going on about how to build an alternative economy by John Imani,� explained another event organizer. "He's proposing an alternative model of change that I think hasn't been proposed yet. He's looking at RAC (Revolutionary Autonomous Communities) as a transformative model towards the vision that he has for change." More about Imani's workshop here.
The organizer continued: �The Bookfair is organized by the L.A. Anarchist Bookfair Collective. It's a collective of different folks interested in putting the collective on for different reasons: some folks are artists, some folks are activists, some people are educators and coming together in a non-institutionalized environment to organize the event.�
