The Aesop Queer Library will return to Aesop's Soho store from 28 June - 5 July to mark 50 years of Pride marches in the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following similar gestures in America and London last year, the LGBTQ+ library has come to London again with the shelves of Aesop<\/span><\/a> Soho cleared of products to make way for 50 titles by queer authors and allies from around the world.<\/p>\n

As a way of supporting independent business, books were purchased from Gay\u2019s The Word<\/a><\/span>, the oldest queer bookstore in the UK. Long-time literary partner Penguin Random House has also made a donation.<\/p>\n

Guided by the recommendations of Aesop\u2019s bibliophiles, visitors will be able to collect a complimentary book of their choice, with no purchase required.<\/p>\n

Queer Libraries will also appear in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Taipei later this year, focusing on the theme of \"a story shared, a new chapter carved\", exploring how the act of sharing queer experiences can help carve out new chapters for queer representation and empowerment.<\/p>\n

Stores around the world will also play host to discussions and specially commissioned artworks by LGBTQ+ artists. Paul Mendez, Sharan Dhaliwal and Travis Alabanza will share their thoughts on queer representation through author interviews online and an in-store event, whilst illustrations by queer artist Hayley Wall will be showcased both digitally and in-store.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a city guide featuring recommendations of LGBTQIA+ spaces and experiences in each city will be available both online and in-store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
