Special Guest Announcement

The 2012 Calgary Anarchist Bookfair is proud to announce our special guest: Cristy C. Road!

Cristy C. Road is a Cuban-American artist and writer originally from Miami, Florida, but now based in New York City.

From her website:

"Cristy C. Road is floating in a pool of her own blood, sweat, and occasional tears. C. Road is a 30-year-old Cuban-American artist and writer. Blending social principles, sexual deviance, mental inadequacies, and social justice- she thrives to testify the beauty of the imperfect."

Over the last 10 years, Road's repertoire has grown to include independent publishing, magazine illustrations, album art, concert posters, lectures, workshops and political organizing.
