Anarcha Feminist Fest in Zagreb 2007

Location

Zagreb
Croatia

Anfema is something like a group of afinities, a group of people that share oppinions and wishes and work together on different actions and projects. In this case it's about anarchism and anarcha-feminism. The group is transparent, fluid, open for everybody that's interested in it. The structure doesn't exist, nor does hierarchy while all the decisions are brought by consensus.
