After a few weeks of frantic sawing, drilling, painting, shuffling & head scratching *Giros' new Infoshop Resource Space finally opened its doors to the public on Mayday 2003, & from Wed 21^st May has opening hours on 4 days a week. The space contains the Just Books Radical Distro, Direct Action Against Apathy zine library & photo archive, reference books, a growing selection of videos (from local actions to undercurrents & riot-porn). We’re planning a cine club with weekly film screenings on Sunday evenings kicking off on June 8th with 'Y tu Mama Tambien'.

In the info-shop you’ll find material on anarchism, environmentalism, gender, queer issues, peace activism, prisoner support, diy culture, & a whole host of other stuff. There are also resources for creating all the props we need for the revolution, art materials, costumes, instruments & assorted junk. We’re currently developing our Free Shop (stuff for free!)

Most importantly it’s place where we can meet to dream & scheme. The Space has already been used as the kids’ area for Grassroots Gathering, Our Kitchen, Anti War meetings, & base for Mayday Activities, Gluaiseacht AGM, building props for Food Not Bombs, anarcho jazz instruments for the Reclaim the Streets, & Belfast Food Co-op Meetings. The place is evolving, feel free to come along & get involved...

Opening hours:

Wed: 12 – 8pm

Thur - Sat: 12 – 4pm

Stuff we need:

Volunteers: to keep the place open, sort through resources, help run the space. 

Donations: books/videos/zines/leaflets etc. that may be clogging up your life that you wanna pass on as a public resource.

Free Stuff: to stock the Free Shop.

Residing at our current location for the last 15 years operating under the umbrella of the Belfast Youth & Community Group (an official charity) & also known as the Warzone Collective we operate the Belfast Musicians Collective providing studio & rehearsal space to bands, Giros Cafe Drop-in provides tasty veggie vegan food at prices not much higher than when the doors first opened in the 80s. Our venue The Centre hosts a range of concerts, & club nights for local & touring performers. We also provide darkroom facilities to photographers.  We’re always looking for volunteers, feel free to get involved...
