Bandung of the North, Sept. 27-29 in Montreal

From the Bandung of the North website (français suit en bas): The Bandung Conference of the North continues in the spirit of Bandung 1955, the first intercontinental conference of non-white peoples in human history. In the context of the Cold War, when the world was polarized between the Soviet and Western blocs, a group of newly sovereign states of the "South" organized themselves politically to accelerate the process of independence for those states still under colonial rule.

Constellation: An Anarchist Festival in Montreal, May 24-26 (Bookfair May 25!)

With the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair collective deciding to not organize an event this year, some others have come together to create a calendar that will list anarchist events happening on the May 24-26 week, in the hopes of self-organization leading to a similar anarcho-festive spirit for those of us who look forward to the annual gathering. There will be one day of tabling, where distros, collective, publishers (including us!) will all be in the usual bookfair locations of CEDA (2515 rue Delisle) and CCGV (2450 rue Workman)—both of which are in Parc Vinet in Little Burgundy—with lots of reading material...
