An Incomplete Atlas of Regeneration attempts to map out possible escape routes from the parallel crises accompanying the end of Holocene and the beginning of Anthropocene. A great many formerly self-evident terms, values and supports that propped up our lives are now transforming or even collapsing. We are simultaneously the originators, the witnesses, the perpetrators and the victims of radical and accelerating changes which bring new problems
In times of advancing privatisation and technologisation of prisons a call for a new abolitinism for the 21st century emerges: let’s abolish the prisons. Angela Y. Davis examines the roots of today’s prison-industrial complex in the USA, its racism and sexism, and suggests possible alternatives to incarceration.

On 11 January 2021 our publishing coop UTOPIA LIBRI came into being. We are embarking on a journey crossing the borders of topics, genres and languages. We shall meet together on the intersection of ideas from horizontal and anti-authoritarian social movements, especially anarchism and (anarcha)feminism, with a critical view on the climatic crisis, the current sociopolitical situation and technologies of power; we shall also make detours into the history of struggles for emancipation and will not avoid issues of human rights in the context of today’s globalised world.
Even though our publishing coop has been just created, we feel an affinity to the publications and activities of these collectives and groups:
- Nakladatelství Neklid — we worked on most of Neklid’s books
- Anarchistický festival knihy — Prague’s anarchist bookfair
- Nakladatelství Anarchistické federace — publications of the Anarchist Federation
- Nakladatelství Broken Books
- Online daily A2LARM
- D-zona — an autonomous space dedicated to (self-)educational, knowledge-sharing, creative, and co-working activities.
- Roleta 39 - a coop printing and crafts workshop
- Black seeds — a coop importing, roasting and distributing coffee from Mexican zapatistas
