Cultures
Fiertés Colorées showcases LGBTI+ cultures. Author meetings, activists, Pride march, queer library, themed evenings…
Queer Library
Queerothèque is the fusion of the terms "queer" and "bibliothèque", meaning "library" in french.
In short, it is a library of works on LGBTI+ themes, but not only! Feminism, anti-racism, anti-ableism, body positivity... are also present and very welcome.
It is located on the ground floor of the Diable au Corps, along with the other shelves of this neighborhood library.
Borrowing is free and without conditions of resources or place of residence, in the queerothèque or in the Diable au Corps library, every Friday between 3 PM and 6 PM.
Bookclub
Once a month, we meet to talk about books, reading, talk about what we've read...
Starting in March, our book club will take place every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7 PM!
No need to bring specifically LGBTI+ books: we are here to talk about what we like to read, whether it has a queer theme or not.
The book clubs will take place at Diable au Corps, 100 St Hilaire Street, 76000 Rouen.
Prochaines dates :
- Lundi 13 avril
- Mardi 12 mai
- Mardi 9 juin
