In this 11th version of the anarchist fair of the book and publication, we invoke and summon the alchemy that lies in the boilers where it is leaking what sustains life: food. The care of hands that peel, stack, slice, wait, wash and serve will be the topographies we will explore so that those words of which we ufanamos know as autonomy and self-management, give us clues of how to lure them in more appropriate ways, given the present situation in the which we are, where hunger is one of the ways of sophistication of the state apparatus in its most gruesome version: genocide.

Nurture is to play with the elements that enable the spiral movement of the organic and inorganic: water, fire, earth, air. Remembering our compositions and their tendency to decompose puts us in touch with the common that calls us, the eternal metamorphosis that entails the very act of cooking, fermentation and composting. Mixtures to which we turn as if we can't do anything else, with that docile sweetness that imbues the impetus of the wild. Attend, attend, tune-up, this knows the vegetable soul that composes us, the mineral rest that gives us and the open look of the animal that does not hesitate, but nothing else: knows. Nurturing one's own life means creating community and solitude, which is just the other side of anarchy. Remember his so powerful and difficult etymology: anarchia, without origin, without principle, without command have we attended to what that means? Perhaps it is time to look at our hands and know what these have done and what they can, between silhouette to another, between a line oblique to a straight, weave stories of communities that migrate, root and uproot, move and nest. So the memory lies between our hands and its so necessary forgetfulness. Then come back: attend, attend and tune-up, whatever ways in which we think that anarchy is the only possibility of coexistence with all that exists, without hunger being a weapon of war, but the most elementary form of movement.

We call you to participate in this acratic cauldron where you can offer whatever the territory of your hands suggests.
