Cultures
Fiertés Colorées showcases LGBTI+ cultures. Author meetings, activists, Pride march, queer library, themed evenings…
Queerothèque
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.
Meetings
We regularly organize meetings with authors of works on LGBTI+ themes.
