Returning for its fifth year, Aēsop's Queer Library is once again transforming the skincare brand's Flinders Lane store into a pop-up library from July 15-19, celebrating LGBTQIA+ voices through the power of storytelling. Visitors can take home a complimentary book by a queer author – no purchase required – while stocks last.
This year's theme, Body of Work, explores the body as a bridge between our private selves and the wider world, spotlighting writing that challenges assumptions and celebrates queer experiences.
Expect titles from authors like Rose Dommu, Seán Hewitt, Shell Rowe and Ocean Vuong among others. Better still, the Aēsop Foundation will also make a donation to Minus18, supporting LGBTQIA+ young people across Australia.
For the full catalogue of titles and authors that will be on offer, head to the Aesop website.
