Infokioskid

Infokioskid is a decentralized network of autonomous infoshops, primarily located in Italy, that aims to promote anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas, as well as to support social movements and struggles. The term "infokiosk" is derived from the Italian words "informazione" (information) and "chiosco" (kiosk), reflecting the network's focus on disseminating information and resources.

The first infokiosk was established in Milan in 1995, and since then, the network has grown to include numerous infokiosks across Italy and beyond. Each infokiosk operates independently, but they share a common commitment to anarchist principles, such as direct action, mutual aid, and self-management. They often serve as community hubs, providing space for meetings, workshops, and cultural events, as well as distributing literature, zines, and other resources.

Infokioskid plays a crucial role in the anarchist movement by providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of information. It offers a wide range of materials, including books, pamphlets, and periodicals, covering topics such as anarchism, anti-capitalism, feminism, environmentalism, and anti-racism. The network also supports the production and distribution of independent media, helping to amplify marginalized voices and challenge dominant narratives.

In addition to its informational role, infokioskid is involved in various social and political struggles. It provides support to activists and communities engaged in direct action, such as squatting, labor strikes, and environmental protests. The network also organizes and participates in campaigns against repression, censorship, and state violence.

Infokioskid's decentralized and autonomous structure allows it to adapt to local contexts and needs, making it a resilient and dynamic network. Despite facing challenges and repression, infokioskid continues to thrive and contribute to the anarchist movement and broader social struggles.
