What is Victoria Anarchist Bookfair: The Podcast?
Originally introduced in the summer of 2020, this podcast was produced as an alternative to the annual Anarchist Bookfair, which was not able to be held as a consequence of COVID-19's widespread curtailing of activities and gatherings. In this podcast, members of the Collective would interview speakers in various fields such emancipatory and anarchist politics including gender and intersectionality, indigenous resurgence and activism, anti-racism, environment, anarchist history, etc.
