Poster for the Ottawa Anarchist bookfair. The design is a segment of a patch jacket with a xerox filter. Patches and buttons carry info about the event.

Text on various patches read:
Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair
Glebe Community Centre

10am-3pm

Workshops & food! Wheel-accessible

Read & resist

Buttons read:
- On Algonquin land
- Masks mandatory & provided
- No AI

Hand written text on the sleeve reads:
Wheel-accessible and free food and sewists to sew on patches and workshops.
A tiny wheelchair accessible symbol and needle with thread are doodled in there.

In the upper right where a shirt under the jacket would be, a sunflower with an anarchist A in the centre arises. Some of the leaves are shaped like the pages of a book.

The year, 2026, is drawn in by the zipper of the jacket.

Text is all hand-done either in a normal handwriting font, a block print font, or a sign-painting brush type font.

En haut à droite, là où on verrait d'habitude le vêtement en-dessous de la veste, il y a un tournesol avec un A anarchiste au centre et une longue tige. Certaines feuilles ressemblent à des pages de livre.

À cote de la fermeture éclair on voit l'année, soit 2026.

Tout le texte est écrit à la main, soit dans un style régulier, soit en majuscules, soit dans un style ressemblant à des lettres écrits à pinceau. Le tout est en noir et blanc.
