We won’t be organising a book fair in 2023, but we’re excited about the International Anti-Authoritarian Gathering in St-Imier that will also feature a bookfair!

We will be organising an Anarchist bookfair again in 2024!

This year there’ll be again a great number of different editors and collectifs coming to the fair: https://buechermesse.ch/?page_id=592&lang=en

The programme is online! Check it out: programme bookfair 2021

See you in the Tscharnergut in Bern on September 24 – 26!

We would like to keep the book fair alive and as open as possible. Please bring a certificate. This does not mean in any way that we approve of the current policy but cancelling the book fair is not an option for us at this stage.

We don’t know yet how this year’s bookfair will be like, but we know that it will take place from the 24th to the 26th of September 2021 in the Tscharnergut in Bern! Looking forward to seeing you!

THEME: produce, distribute, eat

The last anarchist bookfair in Switzerland was a great success, with more people then ever before coming. However, it’s already time to start thinking about the next bookfair!

The bookfair will take place on the weekend of the 31 May-02 June 2019 in the city of Bern, at the Gertrud-Wocker Mensa.

To give you an idea of what to expect, the general theme of this year is Food!, with discussions, presentations (all translated into English, French and German), childcare, film screenings and of course food!

Save the dates!
