Radical Book Fair 2022: Our Fight
Artemis
This year’s fair is taking place on Nov 10th - 13th at the Assembly Roxy in Edinburgh. Our theme for 2022 is, simply and necessarily: Our Fight.
Full program is HERE!
Under this headline we hope to bring together conversations on togetherness, solidarity and resistance in a time of endlessly intersecting crises, inspiring visions of strengthened communities across divides.
In what ways must we come together at this moment, under new and old threats? What harnessed power might be possible when we do?
Like previous years, the fair will be made up of book stalls, activist stalls, events, workshops and more, ranging from topics such as mutual aid and policing to picket lines and making art as resistance. There will also be plenty of joy-giving performances and word-smithery!
2022 speakers include:
Jim Kelman, Lady Unchained, Cecilia Knapp, Cory Doctorow & Rebecca Giblin, Eshe Kiama Zuri, Kübra Gümüsay & Kavita Bhanot, Hannah Lavery, Clementine Burnley, Lambros Fatsis & Melanya Lamb, Marianne Colbfran, Janine Booth and many more!
