This event is taking place as part of the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair, three days of workshops and tabling with queer music performances at night.

Author Scott Branson talks about anarchism in our daily lives, shifting focus to how we form and end relationships as a place of collective struggle to build better worlds. Often, we emphasize other aspects of struggle, which causes us to overlook the actual material life we live. Scott proposes a way to think about how we can stop reproducing the same dismal life and open up our lives to more generative relationships. 

Scott Branson is a queer/trans anarchist writer, translator, community organizer, and teacher. They were an organizer for the UNC Asheville/Davidson College queer conferences that inspired this book. They translated Jacques Lesage de la Haye’s The Abolition of Prison and Guy Hocquenghem’s second book of essays, Gay Liberation after May ’68, for which they also wrote a critical introduction. Scott is the author of Practical Anarchism: A Daily Guide and is currently working on a book on trans-anarcha-feminism. They often contribute to The Final Straw Radio, a weekly anarchist radio show and podcast.
