[A]Infoshop Metelkova
Metelkova 4, SI-1000 Ljubljana





[A] Infoshop provides a dynamic space for the research and development of the theory and practice of anarchism and related social movements. It was established in 2007, and is located in the Hlev ("Stable") building of Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Centre.


History and background

[A] Infoshop emerged from the infamous Ljubljana collectives A-mora and UZI (Urad za intervencije), with the first events taking place at various squats in Ljubljana, such as Cukrarna, Vila Mara, AC Molotov and Galicija.

Basic activities

It is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 to 9 PM and during such events as film evenings, vegan dinners, workshops, discussions, book clubs, concerts (Sam Stephens a.k.a. Sat Nav Sam, Vradiazei, and others). The heart of Ljubljana's (social) anarchist, anarcho-communist, anarcho-feminist and other radical left activism and movement welcomes new ideas and initiatives.

Members of [A] Infoshop publish Avtonomija Magazine, as well as the monthly bulletin Okrožnica, which features information on hot issues, local activities, short articles from the world of social struggle, past endeavours of [A]Infoshop, and book reviews.

Library

It also houses an ever-growing library of anarchist and related literature, magazines, newspapers, fanzines and other publications as well as an archive of material culture (posters, flags, stickers, etc.). Mostly are kept over there.

Distribution

The collective offers help in finding current issues of anarchist publications. Revolutionary music tapes and CD's, T-shirts, banners, stickers with subversive motifs, and fair trade products are occasionally also found there.

Free shop

Shoes and clothing could be swapped freely and costless. Second hand goodies could be found when needed over there, the collective also welcomes used stuff for further disposal.

Internet and reading room

The collective supports free internet access and provides a quiet reading space.

Autonomous (self-)organisation

[A]Infoshop offers the space to the variety of different groups, in order to organise meetings, exchange ideas, and other activities: among them one finds local divisions of FAO (Federacija za anarhistično organiziranje) and AFI (Anarho-feministična iniciativa). Since its inception it collaborates with the International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns by offering the place to host artists and also with the organisational help.
