QCL Book Club is back for February, and this month we’re reading Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde.
📖 About Sister Outsider
The woman's place of power within each of us is neither white nor surface; it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep.
The revolutionary writings of Audre Lorde gave voice to those 'outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women'. Uncompromising, angry and yet full of hope, this collection of her essential prose - essays, speeches, letters, interviews - explores race, sexuality, poetry, friendship, the erotic and the need for female solidarity, and includes her landmark piece 'The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House'.
🌈 About QCL Book Club
Join a friendly and like-minded group of book-loving LGBTQ+ creatives, to discuss a classic and diverse range of queer texts.
We read one book per month and meet once a month at Thingy Cafe in Hackney, on the last Tuesday of every month from 7pm - 9pm.
Thingy Cafe is a wonderful and spacious community cafe in Hackney Wick, with a lush garden space, selling a range of drinks and bites. It is fully wheelchair accessible and has an accessible toilet.
QCL Book Club is a FREE event, and is open to a maximum of 30 people per meeting. Tickets are first come first serve.
🫂 Accessibility
We are a neurodivergent and disability friendly book club and aim to make our meetings as accessible as possible! There is no pressure to speak during meetings if you don’t wish to, or to finish text before meetings if this isn’t possible.
We also have first aiders and mental health first aiders present at each event.
If you have any access needs you’d like to discuss before attending, or if you have any other questions, please get in touch! You can contact us on our Instagram @queercreativeslondon or via email at events@queercreativeslondon.co.uk
If you have a ticket but are unable to attend, please return your ticket ASAP, so that someone else can come in your place.
