Sappho's Friends

Pride and summer are here and with them our little summer break in July but before we do that, our Book Club and Craft Nights team are hosting a picnic at Sofienbergparken for some silent reading/bookswap and crafting with some food and socializing afterwards 🌈✨

Picnic: Bring a blanket and any book you'd like to read or a craft you would like to do in a nice company. We'll have two timeslots where everyone just reads and crafts for themselves with a short break in between. Afterwards, we can discuss our books and share our crafts and the event opens up for everyone else to join.

Does the book have to be queer? No, you can bring any book to the picnic.

From 18:00 the reading picnic transitions to a Summer Social open to everyone! Join us for a summer evening with snacks and cosy vibes. Some small vegan food and snacks will be provided and everyone is welcome to bring more to share. It doesn't matter whether you've been with us for years or never been to a Sappho's Friends event before - come along and bring a friend.

Bookswap: Bring a book you would like to give a new home and think someone else would enjoy and pick another book in return to read during summer! Please bring only one book per person. If your book isn't picked up by the end, please take it with you. We don't have capacity to carry or store books. Thank you ❤️

In short: When: Thursday, 10.7. 16-18:00 Reading and Crafting Picnic - Summer Edition From 18:00 bookswap and Sappho's Friends Summer Social

Where: Sofienbergparken, probably somewhere between the table tennis area, Sofienberg church and 'Miljohuset' - follow in the chats for location on the dates or message Marta or Nastja if you can't find us!

Monthly book club for queer women, non-binary and trans people. Reading queer literature of all genres and from all over the world.

In August, the book club is reading ‘Bi - Notes for a Bisexual Revolution’ by Shiri Eisner

Shiri Eisner is a genderqueer bisexual Israeli writer and activist based in Tel Aviv. They are an feminist, anarchist and vegan. Shiri has been and continues to be outspoken in their criticism of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the Israeli far right. Last year they held a lecture titled ‘How Zionist Israelis justify dead babies’ at Oslo Pride.

In Bi, Eisner argues that the subversive power of stereotypes attached to bisexuality should be utilized rather than rejected by bisexual movements. Depicted as duplicitous, traitorous, and promiscuous, bisexuality has long been suspected, marginalized, and rejected by both straight and gay communities alike.

The book is available here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/shiri-eisner-bi. Prismatic Pages also offers a discount for those interested in a physical copy.
