ABC - The Bottled Wasp Pocket Diary

2.9.17

ABC - Home: The Bottled Wasp Pocket Diary is a not-for-profit prisoner support fundraising project that was officially launched by Brighton Anarchist Black Cross and associates at the 2012 London Anarchist Bookfair. Our plan is to create a long-term stable income for prisoner support activities, delivering a publishing template that can be used by a hopefully independent self-sustaining collective that will go on to produce the diary in future years.

This stylish new radical European counterpart to the U.S.-centric Slingshot Diary focuses on a new area of radical politics and history each year: the 2013 Bottled Wasp featured an introduction to prisoner support and general prison-related history and issues; the 2014 edition covered the history of radical arts and artists, focusing on the importance of anarchist and libertarian thought on the Arts, revealing its lesser known and hidden histories in the areas of the plastics arts, music, literature, photography, film, dance, etc.; whilst the 2015 diary featured the International Anti-Fascist Struggle, covering the entire history of the fight against ultra-nationalism, fascism in its myriad of forms and Nazism around the world.

If you like what you see, then why not pass the word on about the Bottled Wasp to anyone else who you think might appreciate our work and be interested in stocking or buying copies in future.
