Intro text for “Gender oppression, resistance to patriarchy, and anarcha-queer feminism”

From Balkan Anarchist Bookfair

We find it very important and a positive turn that in the last few BABs the topic of anarcho-queer-feminism is one of the main topics of the festival. This is because we perceive gender, body, sexuality not as one time events and as single, discrete categories discussed in the margins (of events, assemblies), but as processes and fields that permeate and are permeated by the multiple networks of historical, social, linguistic correlations and that construct a certain reality.

From The Final Straw Radio Podcast

This week on the show, we’re featuring an interview I did recently with Sona, an anarcha-feminist from Yerevan, Armenia, about her experience of anarchism and some of the solidarity efforts related to supporting Armenians expelled from Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian enclave within the borders of the neighboring country of Azerbaijan.

The Unstoppable Anarchist Ersilia Cavedagni

From The Transmetropolitan Review

Unlike most anarchist women, we know a lot about Ersilia Cavedagni, although only her early history. It’s in the US that her path begins to blur into fragments, eventually dissolving into a mystery shared by many other anarchist women. No one knows when she died, just like her friend Frankie Moore, nor where she might have died, and the latest record of her existence is from 1941, when she had already left her mark on the west coast of the US.

Squatting in Defense of Queer Autonomy

From AntiDote Zine, Your friendly neighborhood anarchists since 2013

AntiNote: With permission from our comrades in Montreuil, we present two recent blog posts from La Baudrière, a queer-feminist squat that was valiantly defended and ultimately evicted this past week. While we mourn the loss of this stronghold of joyous queer life and resistance, we celebrate all of the possibilities that La Baudrière has opened up for young queer anarchists and the solidarity networks they have built across struggles more broadly. We present their call to defend the squat, as well as their update on the eviction, as a means to uplift and applaud their fight for queer autonomy. Their words stoke a fire in our hearts that inspire us to imagine a more liberated future, where free time, good snacks, and feeling safe enough to make mistakes are just a part of life, for all of us.
