Document The RiB Project Bookstall

Agitate, Educate, Inspire, Organise, Uncover...

The Radical Independent Book-fair project (RIB) has been running stalls, coordinating and collaborating on events since 2006 when it premiered at Document 4. Though it began as a joint idea between Variant magazine, angry artworks and AK Press & Distribution, its roots go back to counter cultural events organised by the Free University Network and the Scottish Bookfair of Radical Black & Third World Books, as well as the support and campaigning groups Artists in Solidarity and Workers City from the early 1990s.

RIB acts as a support structure for a number of individuals and groups who produce publications, information and materials for sale, view and free distribution. With the ideas of mutual aid and solidarity at its forefront, this long term project plays an important part in helping to fill the gap left by the lack of alternative bookshops in Glasgow.

The RIB project is pleased to be supporting Document for the ninth year running.
