Anarchist Bookfair 2026 Prague

Anti-fascism yesterday, today and tomorrow / panel discussion

We write texts, organize events, confront neo-Nazis, create collectives and look for ways to do anti-fascism in a changing world. Where do we intersect and how can we support?
People across generations, groups and activities will sit in the panel discussion. We will share how we are dealing with fascism and where there are opportunities to build a broader anti-fascist movement.

Relationship anarchy

If you have come across "relationship anarchy", it might have been in the context of describing dating and romantic relationships. But why stop there? This is an attempt to expand relationship anarchy beyond just a flavor of non-normative relationships into a practical way to prefigurate a future lived according to anarchist principles. Why now? Because our enthusiasm and intimate zeal are being eroded. Our social rituals dissolve. Technology offers to feed our desire for connection. To this messy situation, relationship anarchy raises a simple principle: we must respect alterity, while making ourselves subject to others. In this session, we come together and explore where this principle can lead us.

Can a movement leave the subculture and become a mass organization?

The interview will be presented by the German anarcho-syndicalist trade union FAU (Freie Arbeiter*innen Union). How does FAU differ from traditional unions and what is its position within the movement?
How do our daily wage struggles fit into wider campaigns, what does it mean to build solidarity in the workplace and what role does direct action play in this? How does non-hierarchical decision making in a large anarchist organization work in practice? We will look at specific examples of fights from recent years within the Berlin Syndicate.
Are grassroots organized and radical trade unions an alternative at a time when the forms of work are fundamentally changing? What possibilities do workers facing uncertainty and repression have in this struggle, and finally - what would it mean to transfer similar experiences to the Czech environment?
Building community from an internalized individualistic culture rooted in hierachy and power struggle. How do we do this? / Marina López Álvarez 
In these times of instability and uncertainty, the ways of relating within Western culture —both among humans and with the “more-than-human”— are being felt more intenselythan ever as unsustainable and harmful. Individualism and isolation do not reflect ournature, and more and more people sense that returning to community is not a way out, but a way through this polycrisis and a path toward adaptation.
But how do we build community in a context shaped by hierarchy, violence, and abuse of power? From childhood, we internalize the cultural structures that shape ourworldview, creating the lens through which we perceive and respond to the world.
This event invites us to face this directly: to recognize how these patterns live within us—in our bodies, ideas, and relationships— and to ask how we can create community, belonging, and care without reproducing the same dynamics of domination. It is aninvitation to come together and reflect on more conscious and responsible ways of building the collective, seeking to understand where we are starting from, and whatneeds to die so that what we wish to create can come to life.

"They didn't want a class, they got a nation": why it's a dangerous view / KPK
It became a popular commentary, an explanation, an accusation: "Trade unionists applaud the Turek? Workers vote for the SPD? It's because of how the workers, the very existence of the working class, has been treated by politics, discourse. Why be surprised?"
It is a view that is both false and dangerous for the class struggle and its political perspective.
Lesser known verses from the underground
When you think of the underground under the previous regime, names like Egon Bondy, Ivan Jirous or Jáchym Topol come to mind. Thanks to the work of people like Martin Machovec, Kristina Klímová and Radek Touš, even the verses of lesser-known poets are now remembered. The reading will remind you of the still appealing and shocking texts of Milan Koch, Lenka Marečková, Milan Vrabec and others.

/ Presentation of books

Caliban and the witch - Silvia Federici / Tranzit.cz

Feminists see witches as a symbol of women who did not submit – they were poor, rebellious, had knowledge of their bodies and sometimes control over their fertility. Therefore, contemporary feminism returns to them as an image of resistance and autonomy.
According to Silvio Federici in the book Caliban and the Witches, the witch hunts were related to the emergence of capitalism. She argues that there was a need to break down women's independence and create a model of a woman who gives birth to children and performs unpaid domestic care - work considered "for love" but necessary for the functioning of society.
According to her, witch-hunting was part of the wider changes of the early modern period, and was later dismissed as an occultism best forgotten. Yet the "witches" motif persists: in culture and politics as a reminder that whenever women expand their rights or seek control over their bodies, a new form of restriction may emerge.

Witches, Nurses and Midwives - Barbara Ehrenreich and Deidre English / Salé Distribution
This pamphlet shows how female healers and midwives were gradually displaced by male-dominated medicine, which often referred to them as "witches". Ehrenreich and English point out that it was not just superstition, but a power struggle in health care.
The text is based on the perspective of the second wave of feminism, which critically re-evaluated women's history and pointed to patriarchal structures in medicine.
The booklet thus highlights how gender, class and power have shaped the medical profession and opens up a discussion of how these historical processes still affect women's status today.

The Rám of the Imagination: A Handbook of urban disobedience - Vladimír Turner (ed.) / Utopia Libri

The Ram of the Imagination: A Handbook of Urban Disobedience features an eclectic selection of visual material, guides, manifestos, interviews, short stories, poetry, and historical retrospectives of the last decades of creative nonconformity of the new urban avant-garde. Her interdisciplinarity creates cracks in the system and points to the possibilities of not succumbing to indifference through imagination at a time when the global ruling class of the ultra-rich is approaching hybrid forms of neo-fascism, against which it is necessary to fight by all possible means.
The book was created as part of the "Community Service" project, which also includes a full-length documentary film, community workshops, gallery installations and other meetings.
