We would like to invite you to the 9th edition of the Warsaw Independent Bookfair, which will take place in Warsaw on 6-7.09.2025.
Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 is a space for free thought and culture, a tool for opposing tacit censorship, monopolisation and capitalist restrictions on the book market. We act to support authors and creators who reject commercial compromises, defend the autonomy of their messages and build alternative models of distribution and cooperation. The event is open to all people who believe in the value of self-organisation, grassroots solidarity and anarchist ideas as a world-changing force. In the past years we have discussed a lot about these emerging issues. We see that their solution requires global awareness, solidarity between creators and readers, and support for independent cultural initiatives. As we have done in recent years, we want not only to deepen our discussions and critiques, but also to develop solutions. We invite you to actively participate in the event.
Declare manifestos!
Get together and discuss!
Present new solutions!
Be creative and creative!
We are open to your suggestions!
The event will be accompanied by meetings (including online), which will address topics currently preoccupying independent publishers and grassroots initiatives that fit with the idea of the ninth Independent Book Fair. It is open to an equality message that includes the voice of the excluded. It is a space to share our experiences together, learn from each other, respectfully discuss alternatives and take a critical look at contemporary reality.
In the previous fair, publishers, collectives and individuals representing various backgrounds from both Poland and abroad took part. The event also attracted quite a few book lovers and we hope that this year will be similar.
Our distinctive feature is also that we do not charge a stand fee. If you really want to come and the only obstacle for you is finances, write to us - we will try to work something out together. The fair is free for visitors.
