About this Event
The Black Feminist Reading Group is back for another wokshop!
On Saturday 6th June 12:00-3:30pm at the Feminist Library.
We’ll be taking time to reflect and imagine together.
The workshop will be centred on a few fun creative reflection activities. We’ll be using collage, reflective writing, and drawing to explore Black Feminism.
What does the space we create here mean to us? What are we building together?
New members are very welcome.
Please sign up via Eventbrite so we can prepare the space. For questions, email [email protected]
Reminder: This is a closed space for Black and POC folks.

To reach The Feminist Library, the closest tube station is Peckham Rye (1.3km away) which is not step-free. The route from Peckham Rye station is step-free but not level throughout. The nearest wheelchair accessible tube station is Queen’s Road Peckham, via a boarding ramp. Bus stops for routes 63, 363, 381, and 78 can all be found nearby.

Arrival
The Sojourner Truth Centre which houses the Library is completely step-free with level floors through-out.
Ring the Feminist Library bells at the doorway (at 137cm). There is a slight depression in the floor where the welcome mat meets the floor. The door is 137cm wide, heavy, and is not automated.
A Library Opener will greet you when you arrive and open the door, please let us know if there is any way large or small to make your visit easier.
There are three doorways to pass through to access the main Library hall. Foyer double door does not stay open on its own. Floors are smooth and may be slippery if wet.
The main Library Hall is a completely step-free space, with level floors throughout. There is a set of double doors into the hall, and typically only one of them is propped open. We will open both on request. We have a variety of chairs including wide seats, and chairs with arm/back-rests. All chairs have back rests. If you need to reserve an armchair or sofa space please get in touch.
There is a narrow kitchen with crockery and cutlery, a mini fridge, and a microwave. You are welcome to bring food into the library, or use the teas and coffee in the kitchen. There is a Londis 72m (~2 mins) away which is step free and level throughout, with a step free route from the library, though please note the pavement may not be level.
Toilets are all gender neutral. There is one accessible toilet, which does not require a radar key, and two toilet rooms, located just across from library hall, offering cubicles and a urinal. Pull-down changing table is available in the accessible toilet.
Children are welcome but we do not have a creche.
Assistance pets are welcome in the Library. There may be dogs in the Library on occasion, please let us know if you are not comfortable with this.
Hand sanitiser and masks are available. Let the Openers know if you would like others to be masked.
