The Black women’s reading group hosts an event to help raise funds for the Black Feminist Bookshop. With the aim to open in 2020, the Black Feminist Bookshop will run events and stock Black feminist and Queer, Transgender and Intersex People of Colour (QTIPOC) literature as well as books written by women of colour that explore identity, culture and belonging.
Join us on the night to read sections from Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper and to purchase books from The Black Feminist bookshop pop-up.
After you have booked please contact carson@southlondongallery.org to receive pdfs of the reading materials. Attendees can also show their event booking email to receive 20% off the book in the SLG Book Shop before or during the event.
This event has a gender inclusion policy, it is open to all women (trans, intersex and cis) who are of the Black African and Caribbean diaspora. If you are a Black non-binary, agender or a gender variant person who feels they can contribute to and benefit from attending this event, please come, you are welcome. We do not police gender. If someone attends it is because they feel that they are included by the gender inclusion policy.
For more information on access at gallery please read here.
Donations are welcome. All proceeds will go to the Black Feminist Bookshop.
