The European autonomous movement, mainly centred in the German-speaking countries
but spreading into various others, has been a major factor in radical European
politics for about thirty years. Gabriel Kuhn will give an overview of the
movement's history and its current state – questions from the audience are strongly
encouraged!

Growing up along the German-Austrian border, Gabriel was politicized in the
autonomous movement in the late 1980s. He has spent many years abroad and is
currently living in Sweden, but has always maintained strong ties to autonomous
politics. He is part of the editorial collective behind Perspektiven autonomer
Politik [Perspectives of Autonomous Politics], a book due to come out with radical
publisher Unrast Verlag in the spring of 2010. Gabriel has worked on several
publications with Unrast Verlag, and is the founder of Alpine Anarchist Productions.
He also works with PM Press in the US, and with the anarchist journal Brand in
Sweden.
