ATTENUE LIBERTARI DEL CABANYAL

7 p.m. Anarchism step by step. Practical guide to the ideas and history of the libertarian movement , by Antonio Pérez Collado.

The idea of ​​anarchy has always aroused sympathy in large sectors of rebellious people, outraged by the unfair world in which we live; however, in many cases, people who approach anarchism for the first time, do not have a clear and thorough idea of ​​what it means. There is a very extensive bibliography on libertarian ideas, but perhaps it is very good that in a single book, short, simple and didactic, they are reflected for those people who approach acracy, the main issues that must be known in order not to fall into the cursed a topic so repeated that when things go wrong, they resort to saying: "this is anarchy". Nothing is more false and to prove it, those who are interested in really knowing the beautiful idea of ​​anarchy can read this book that reviews the fundamental themes, from basic concepts to the main currents of anarchism or its most outstanding historical figures. It also includes a historical summary and its current situation. It also contains an annex on symbols, hymns, cinema, a brief bibliography... and even a short text by Proudhon on what it means to be governed. Edited by On the Margin

chatting

In 1998, the Valencia Anarchist Book Fair was born, a pioneer in the territory of the Spanish state. In 2022 it celebrates its 20th edition.

A meeting point for the libertarian environments of Valencia, the Mostra has consolidated over the years. Apart from disseminating books and publications, he has always integrated other aspects of culture, linking different sensibilities, people and spaces.

Based on several conversations with participants in its organization, several little-known aspects of the Exhibition are revealed. Its trajectory and history, self-management and logistics, the vision of the future and even self-criticism.

This book collects the workshops and presentations held during the Campamento de Jineolojî Sehid Lêring Çiya in País Valencian in the summer of 2021.

In recent years, many lectures, seminars and educations have been held in the territories of the Spanish state, as well as the International Jineology Camp in Bilbao in 2018 or the Sehid Sara Dorsin Jineology Camp in the summer of 2019 in Catalonia. This has given us the opportunity to make known the struggle, ideas and implementation of the Women's Movement of Kurdistan and of Jineology, and has allowed us to get to know each other and create strong bonds and unbreakable bridges that unite our forces against patriarchy, capitalism and the state

We want, with this book, and with every step we take, to remember and honor all the comrades martyred in the resistance in the mountains of Kurdistan, mainly in Zap, Avasîn, Metina and Sengal. His fight gives us strength and guides us.

ATENEU LLIBERTARI AL MARGEN

6 p.m. pig bravo By David Nebreda .

It is an illustrated adventure, whose protagonists are the wild boars, and which, based on these, denounces the destruction of nature by human civilization.

BSO CA LA CAIXETA

7 p.m. And I write so as not to die. La memoria como camino: life of a Colombian guerrilla by María Eugenia Vásquez Perdomo. By Bauma.

NON-MIXED: Non-mixed space for women, bowlers, trans and non-binary identities.

This book is an autobiography written so as not to die, because after eighteen years in the ranks of the M19, the author needed to make sense of the struggle, the world and her life, without the community context that the insurgent group gave her. Initially written as his Anthropology thesis and later adapted for her publication, is a human story, far removed from the heroic and institutional, in which the author shares her first steps of militant life, the operatives, the armed struggle in the mountains, the clandestine, the prison, and the relationships between militants , with its successes and contradictions, with its doubts and fears, with its joys and passions.

Colombia has many stories, but this one, of a woman who has dared to subvert the canons of official historiography and allowed us to sneak into the memories, makes it much easier to understand this country and its struggles. Edited by Bauma

Saturday April 1

CARME SQUARE

10-20h. Book stalls

11 a.m. Armed with pen and word . By Deyanira Schürjin Benedetto

Utopians, socialists and anarchists, and the occasional suffragist, gather in this first copy to show their struggles and concerns: poverty, work, education, free love, abortion, motherhood, marriage, prostitution, anti-militarism, as well as the alliance internationalist at a time that was advancing towards a most brutal and disciplinary Class War. Edited by Imperdible .

1 p.m. The struggles of the Mapuche people. Rethinking the south by Jorge Alonso, Carlos Alonso Reinoso, Sheila Fernández Míguez, Xochitl Leiva Solano, Pablo Marimán Quemenado, Edgars Martínez Navarrete, Moria Millán, Patricia Viera-Bravo and Raúl Zibechi. By Víctor Hernández .

The Mapuche world long ago broke the territorial and social boundaries where the State of Chile intended to confine them. When thousands of young white people wave the Mapuche flag in October 2019 throughout the Chilean geography, particularly in Santiago, they are telling us that they recognize the moral and political authority of a whole people that, with its resistance, has marked a path of dignity and autonomy to all those who need to unite with other people to resist oppression. Edited by Zambra / Baladre .

2:30 p.m. LUNCH by La Tavernaire.

4 p.m. Electric poems , by Nuria Escrivá Mansanet (Nurionte)

Nurionte pinches our hearts with his book Poemas Eléctricos . Not only does he offer us his last collection of poems, but he also gives us his Anthology of a living poet , a selection of poems written between 1998 and 2008. His writings are a torrent of experiences and reflections, sometimes more political and sometimes more intimate, sometimes more direct and sometimes more visceral.

Between the words of these poems, terrible experiences can be glimpsed that are overcome by a free and warm spirit that does not seek redemption or revenge, but to live here and now in an immoderate way, hating, feeling and loving.

Thank you, Nurionte, for your sincere vitality.

6 p.m. Diccionario Obs-cenus. Intimate collective memory of the Obs-Cenus Project . By Anna Albaladejo .

Obs-cenus dictionary is an ACTION-BOOK. A proposal that collects texts, images, gestures and stage practices for the publication of a compilation book of the memory and experience of the Obs-cenus project (2018-2021). An investigation of Living Arts that activates Pleasure, Sexuality and Bonds as spaces of resistance and transformation, in which a group of women and artists work around Anna Albaladejo, scene creator, arts researcher and affection activist .

8 p.m. SPK . Make the disease a weapon in charge of the Irrecuperables Publishing House

A brilliant, heterodox and polemical "classic" of the radical critique of medical power or capitalism in such a vital, everyday and apparently "neutral" aspect as illness and health; far - yes - from any negationist position on reality, and also far from any psychological position in this respect.

9 p.m. DINNER hosted by BSOA Ca La Caixeta.

9:30 p.m. Concert by Miguel Caldito , Pino HabráKadaver and Ramiro Porto .

Meeting of independent publishers to share challenges, tricks and networks around self-publishing and self-managed work.

For the Sunday table we will generate a space for exchange, questioning and connection. Several critical publishers will meet to talk about independent publishing. We are interested in getting to know each other and creating a network. Stimulate and strengthen projects around the book, the fanzine and the poster. Also, show our contradictions, some successes and many learnings. The debate will be organized by thematic blocks and will have the participation of various projects, with their affinities and their differences. The talk will be open and will be nurtured by publishers who want to participate and come over for coffee.

6 p.m. Majaras The origin of misogyny and the destruction of the common , by the Majaras Montserrat Collective.

A journey through the pursuit of the different. The story of those people who "went off the path", those who tried to preserve the concept of community and ancestral knowledge.

This project was born with the intention of paying tribute to the historical figure of the Witch (emphasizing that we are not, nor pretend to be, specialists in historical research), dismantling the caricature stereotype that was created during her persecution and representing what was in reality , the extermination of those who did not fit into the new scheme: old women, unmarried women, the poor of the forests, revolutionaries, anti-feudal and anti-clerical women, midwives, commoners, gays, lesbians, trans, healers and a long etc.

We want to recover and represent the revolutionary and subversive character of these realities, removed from history through the imposition of a family, religious, economic and unique gender model.

8 p.m. Theatrical performance El fil , by L' Arracada Cultural Action .
