The library and the information office
The central project of Anarhiv, started even before the organisation was formally established, is the so called Elf's Reading Room (Škratova čitalnica). This is a library of varied, often hard to find books, magazines and other reading (and video) materials that deal with radical social theory, with counter-cultural and subcultural topics, and with liberatory movements relating to class, sex, race, or nature. Most of them are in English language, and are easily searchable through the search engine on the Anarhiv website.
While the reading room has been traditionally situated in a defunct library in one of the inner courtyards of Metelkova, it is now housed in the city centre, at the Kersnikova street. Additionally, some of the material that is meant for children can be reached through the so called Elf's Bibliobus (Škratov Bibliobus), a van that drives around Slovenia.
An information office is also located at the library premises, and is providing information on worker's rights, funding options, youth exchange programmes, employment possibilities, and so on. It forms a part of the Ljubljana Network of Info Points (L'MIT).
Programme activities
KUD Anarhiv is or has been involved in dozens of projects, and only some of the more recent ones are mentioned here. Among them are a French language clas, an African literature class (which focuses on reading selected literary works and then discussing their specific cultural, social and political implications), a seminar on theatre theory and practice (though mostly taking place at the Slovenian Theatre Institute, it also involves radio shows, public events, discussion with artists, etc), workshops on sound (which cover everything from sound production and recording to music publishing), a series of screenings and discussions on TV series, and so no.
A curious feature is the so called Škratmobil (Elfmobil), a mobile social-cultural platform for youth and children that drives around the Bela krajina region. Financed by the Norwegian financial mechanism, it also involves Vizo, the Črnomelj Library, and some other NGOs and cultural institutions.
=Past projects
A very important part of the KUD Anarhiv activities has always been a focus on film, with the Elf's Film School (Škratova filmska šola) taking place between 2009 and 2012 and offering an innovative combination of film theory and practice. The lectures and workshops were held throughout the year and conducted by young film theorists and film-makers. The featured lectures have led to the publishing of three collection of texts that feature not only film theory but also literary works and some more general social criticism. Selected films and documentaries were screened in collaboration with Klub Groka. Of a similar vein were also regular weekly video screenings entitled "VHS Guerilla".
Also enacted were: a reading debate circle on seminal humanities and epistemology texts (in cooperation with MSUM); a project on permacultural and self-sufficient gardening; workshops on edible food in urban areas; summer schools on feminism; lectures focused on analysing fantasy literature; and more.
