75th Anniversary of the Spanish Revolution Celebration
3pm Saturday 16th of July
The Spanish Revolution was the closest the world has ever come to an anarchist inspired revolution.
We will be marking this historic event with a BBQ, games, bands and a short discussion about how we can apply the ideas of the Spanish anarchists today.
There will also be a piñata.

At the Paris Commune Anniversary event, MAC launched Black Light #0. Black Light will be our new publication, and we did a pilot issue to work out the bugs. You can download it for yourself.
Articles include:

- Voina / ?????: The Russian art group in trouble
- A Home for the Far Right: An overview of the attempts of the Australian far right to find political acceptance
- Plus articles confronting common myths of anarchism, a brief history of the Paris Commune and anarcha-feminism
Print-ready PDF
Please note we trimmed 10mm off the creep (right side after it's folded) and 5mm from the top and bottom.
We also printed it on grey paper.
Interactive PDF
Ideal for viewing on screen. Includes bookmarks and hyperlinks. Looks nice.

December 2010
Plans are afoot to hold a wild weekend at some point in December. We think? Otherwise, another meeting of the 'Fantin Reading Group', probably on Sunday, December 19, to discuss the question of violence and social change, with readings to be posted later this week. Also, we will be continuing to clean and paint the front room, while Anarres Books is planning on re-launching early next year.
Stay tuned for more details on all the above.
