MONTREAL's 7th ANNUAL ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR
Saturday, May 20, 2005, 10am-6pm
Location TBA
MONTREAL, QUEBEC

--> The largest anarchist event in North America.
--> Part of the month-long Festival of Anarchy (May 2006).
--> Followed by a full day of Anarchist Presentations and Workshops (May 21, 2006).
--> Bring your kids! Kids activities and free childcare on-site.

The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair and Festival of Anarchy is the largest anarchist event in North
America, and an important exchange of anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas. The Bookfair is for
anarchists and non-anarchists alike, in French and English, with participants from all over North
America and beyond. Founded in May 2000, the bookfair is now entering its seventh year. Anarchist
Bookfair events include book and information tables, workshops, readings, films, presentations,
walking tours and much more. Once again, the Anarchist Bookfair will be followed -- on Sunday, May
21 -- by a full day dedicated to anarchist-themed workshops and presentations. As in the past, a
"Festival of Anarchy" will take place during the weeks preceeding the Bookfair, with diverse
events organized by anarchist and anti-authoritarian groups.

Proposal callouts for workshops, presentations, art exhibits, films, Festival of Anarchy events
and tables are included below. We look forward to your suggestions and contributions!

**********************
* 2. Callout, Workshops *
**********************

The bookfair organizing collective is currently seeking workshop and presentation proposals for
the Bookfair (May 20, 2005) and the Day of Anarchist Workshops and Presentations (May 21, 2005).

For the bookfair day, we are looking for introductory workshops to anarchism, or an aspect of
anarchism, aimed at people who are curious about, or new to, anarchist ideas. The workshops should
be accessible to non-anarchists. For May 21, we are seeking proposals that address an
anarchist-themed topic in some depth, and are intended for people who are already familiar with
anarchism, or might identify as anarchists.

--> For more information about proposing workshops and presentations, including basic guidelines,
please consult: http://salonanarchiste.taktic.org/workshops.html

NOTE: The deadline for all workshop and presentation proposals is FEBRUARY 15, 2006.

The heart of the bookfair is the main auditorium on May 20, 2006, which will include booksellers,
distributors, independent presses and political groups from all over Montreal, Quebec and North
America, and abroad. Please make sure to read our principles on our website before contacting us
to request a table. If you haven't tabled at the bookfair before, please include a short
description of your group and the material you intent to distribute at the bookfair.

The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair will again be displaying artwork relating to anarchism and
anti-authoritarian, autonomous or anarchist-supported struggles. Please consider proposing an
exhibit of photos, posters, original art, repros - anything within the parameters of the Bookfair
that can be mounted and hung on a wall or placed in a corner!

The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair will also have a film room running all day, showing films related
to anarchism or anarchist-supported struggles, that fall within the principles of the Anarchist
Bookfair.

NOTE: The deadline for art exhibit and film proposals is APRIL 1, 2006.
