Join the Feminist Library in a collaborative space exploring power through creativity. This will be informed by their collection of literature, political writings and artwork and brought to life through knowledge sharing, discussion, activism, visual expression, and music.
We will run our ever-popular embroidery, zine, badge, and bunting making workshops. These provide welcoming spaces for a free exchange of thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Both the Feminist Library’s Spanish and English language book clubs will be exploring texts around the theme of power. Club de Lectura en Español and Herstories will be reading The Power by Naomi Alderman.
