Anarhistični socialni prostor A-Infoshop v letu 2026 obeležuje dvajset let delovanja
Spodaj v celoti objavljamo komunike, ki ga je ob tej priložnosti spisala skupščina skupin, ki samoupravljajo A-Infoshop. V komunikeju se celotno leto 2026 razglaša za obletnico prostora ter najavlja pester program in vsebine. Ob tej priložnosti se širše gibanje vabi tudi k skupnemu premisleku o izkušnjah in zgodovini prostora ter predvsem o političnih procesih, ki so tu nastajali.
Tudi na naši spletni strani bomo v prihajajočem letu objavljali različne vsebine na to temo. Že na tej točki pa k pripravi vsebin vabimo vse tiste, ki ste na katerikoli točki na tak ali drugačen način soustvarjali politično življenje A-Infoshopa.
A-Infoshop – 20 let socialnega prostora za raziskovanje in razvijanje teorije in prakse anarhističnih gibanj
Prvi javni dogodki v prostoru so se odvili marca leta 2006 med feminističnim festivalom Rdeče zore in septembra istega leta v sklopu metelkovske obletnice.
Od takrat do danes je živahen brlog v Avtonomnem kulturnem centru Metelkova mesto gostil nepregledno število javnih dogodkov, političnih srečanj in ustvaril vrsto drugih priložnosti za druženje najrazličnejših značajev: organizacijskih, izobraževalnih, informativnih, kulturno-umetniških in mobilizacijskih.
V njem se je za krajši ali daljši čas ustavilo na stotine tovarišev in tovarišic z vseh celin, izmenjalo knjige, zine, plakate in druge materiale ter informacije in razmisleke v duhu boja za svet radikalne enakosti, za svet brez vojne in kapitalizma, za svet mnogoterih svetov.
Danes A-Infoshop nadaljuje svoje začetno poslanstvo razvoja anarhistične teorije in prakse v naši geografiji. Za svoje aktivnosti ga redno uporabljajo številne skupine in pobude, v njem pa delujejo tako tovariši in tovarišice, ki so z njim od samega začetka, kot tudi tiste, ki se ob začetku njegovega delovanja še niso rodile.
Vse do danes in tudi vse bolj pa A-Infoshop (p)ostaja prostor, ki povezuje različne generacije in raznolike politične poudarke znotraj širokega spektra antikapitalističnega gibanja, predvsem pa tiste, ki delijo vizijo in prakso antiavtoritarne samoorganizacije, pri tem pa se ne udinjajo interesom nevladništva, strukturam, povezanim s političnimi strankami, državi in kapitalu.
A-Infoshop (podobno kot širše antiavtoritarno gibanje) je eden redkih projektov pri nas, ki konsistentno in brezpogojno sledi principom samoorganizacije. Za razliko od dominantih oblik družbeno-političnega organiziranja skozi politične stranke ali nevladni sektor se ta prostor dejansko organizira od spodaj, samofinancira in ostaja samonikla struktura izven-in-proti sistemu.
Skozi vsa leta delovanja, tudi v turbulentnih družbenih razmerah in v ne vedno enostavnih gibanjskih političnih dinamikah, se je A-Infoshop s svojimi političnimi skupinami izkazal kot stabilen in zanesljiv prostor izmenjave in organiziranja, ki uspeva ideje antiavtoritarne politike solidarnosti in enakosti udejanjati tudi takrat, ko se to zdi praktično nemogoče.
Ves čas ohranja in razvija protisektaško, odprto in načelno držo do širše družbe, saj izhaja iz prepričanja, da prava moč izvira iz sodelovanja raznolikih, pravo tovarištvo iz spoštovanja do dela drugih in prava skupnost iz prevzemanja odgovornosti tudi takrat, ko je to težko.
Kritičen pogled nazaj gradi možnost prihodnosti
Dvajset let delovanja je priložnost, da pogledamo na prehojeno pot tudi zato, da bi bolje razumeli, kako se je v tem času spremenila družba okoli nas in vlogo, ki smo jo pri tem morda imeli tudi mi. Je tudi priložnost, da se soočimo z lastnimi napačnimi analizami in pristopi, napakami in šibkimi točkami. Kritičen pogled nazaj, ki poteka ob boku delovanju v sedanjosti, gradi možnost prihodnosti.
Bolj ko dežurna zapoved v družbi postajajo individualizem, karierizem, umik v intimo, resignacija, bolj je pomembno vztrajati na gradnji alternativ. Ne smemo sprejeti, da se ljudem odvzema možnosti za življenje, da se nas pita s sovraštvom ali vzgaja v pripravljenost na vojno. Da se v našem imenu podpira in izvaja genocid nad Palestinci. Ne smemo dopustiti nadaljnjega uničevanja narave v imenu profita. Ne smemo sprejeti, da o naših življenjih odloča oblast, ki v očeh ljudi nima več nobene legitimnosti.
Kot del anarhističnega gibanja se ne damo. Še naprej bomo odpirali naš prostor, naša srca in misli za tovariše in tovarišice, ki se ne predajajo. Še naprej bomo svoj glas zastavljali za tiste, ki so v tej družbi najbolj targetirani in izkoriščani. Še naprej bomo zoprni. Računajte na nas, spoznajte nas, pridružite se nam in prispevajte tudi vi svoj kamenček v mozaik boja za življenje in za prihodnost.
Vabimo vse, da v letu 2026 še malo večkrat zavijete v A-Infoshop, da morda ponovno spletemo vezi, ki so nas nekoč že povezovale, da utrdimo obstoječe in da spletemo popolnoma nove. Naj bo okrogla obletnica tudi priložnost za nov začetek.
V sklopu obletnice bomo skozi celo leto organizirali različne kulturne, izobraževalne in politične dogodke, se potrudili izdati tudi kakšno publikacijo in druge materiale, ki naj skupaj prispevajo k popisu zgodovine tega prostora in pisanju njegove zgodbe v prihodnje. ★
20 years of anarchist social space A-Infoshop
The anarchist social space A-Infoshop in Ljubljana celebrates twenty years of activity in 2026
The first public events in the space took place in March 2006 during the feminist festival Rdeče zore (Red Dawns) and in September of the same year as part of the Metelkova anniversary.
Since then, the lively den in the Autonomous Cultural Center Metelkova City has hosted countless public events and political meetings and created a number of other opportunities for socializing of various kinds: organizational, educational, informational, cultural-artistic, and mobilization.
Hundreds of comrades from all continents have stopped by for shorter or longer periods of time, exchanging books, zines, posters, and other materials, as well as information and reflections in the spirit of the struggle for a world of radical equality, a world without war and capitalism, a world of many worlds.
Today, A-Infoshop continues its original mission of developing anarchist theory and practice in our geography. It is regularly used for activities by numerous groups and initiatives, and is home to comrades who have been with it since the very beginning, as well as those who were not yet born when it started.
To this day, and increasingly so, A-Infoshop has become a space that connects different generations and diverse political emphases within the broad spectrum of the anti-capitalist movement, especially those who share the vision and practice of anti-authoritarian self-organization, without bowing to the interests of non-governmental organizations, structures linked to political parties, the state, and capital.
A-Infoshop (similar to the broader anti-authoritarian movement) is one of the few projects in our country that consistently and unconditionally follows the principles of self-organization. Unlike the dominant forms of socio-political organization through political parties or the non-governmental sector, this space is actually organized from below, self-financed, and remains a self-generated structure outside and against the system.
Throughout its years of operation, even in turbulent social conditions and in political dynamics that are not always easy, A-Infoshop and its political groups have proven to be a stable and reliable space for exchange and organization, succeeding in implementing the ideas of anti-authoritarian politics of solidarity and equality even when this seems practically impossible.
It maintains and develops an anti-sectarian, open, and principled attitude towards society at large, based on the belief that true power comes from the cooperation of diverse people, true comradeship from respect for the work of others, and true community from taking responsibility even when it is difficult.
A critical look back builds possibilities for the future
Twenty years of operation is an opportunity to look back on the path we have traveled, also in order to better understand how the society around us has changed during this time and the role we may have played in this. It is also an opportunity to confront our own misguided analyses and approaches, mistakes, and weaknesses. A critical look back, alongside our current activities, builds possibilities for the future.
The more individualism, careerism, withdrawal into intimacy, and resignation become the norm in society, the more important it is to persist in building alternatives. We must not accept that people are deprived of opportunities in life, that we are fed hatred or raised to be ready for war. That genocide against the Palestinians is supported and carried out in our name. We must not allow the further destruction of nature in the name of profit. We must not accept that our lives are decided by authorities that no longer have any legitimacy in the eyes of the people.
As part of the anarchist movement, we will not give up. We will continue to open our space, our hearts, and our minds to comrades who refuse to surrender. We will continue to speak out for those who are most targeted and exploited in this society. We will continue to be annoying. Count on us, get to know us, join us, and contribute your own piece to the mosaic of the struggle for life and for the future.
We invite everyone to visit A-Infoshop more often in 2026, so that we can perhaps re-establish the bonds that once connected us, strengthen existing ones, and forge completely new ones. Let this milestone anniversary also be an opportunity for a new beginning.
As part of the anniversary, we will organize various cultural, educational, and political events throughout the year, and we will also endeavor to publish some materials that will contribute to documenting the history of this space and writing its story in the future. ★
