August 28 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Timings to be confirmed. Registration will open shortly.
There are leather books, paper books, digital books and now human books. Just like a traditional library, people can borrow books to find out new things or discover new stories, only instead of a traditional book with pictures or text, the books are real people with real stories and ideas to share. Human books are picked from a list, and the borrower gets to hold a short conversation. It’s a chance to meet people you might never come across in your daily life. If you would like to be a human book, or volunteer to be a librarian to help out at the event, contact [email protected]. Workshop led by artist/tailor Richard Bliss.

Richard Bliss is an artist/tailor whose work is rooted in community engagement and activism. Richard’s main interests are LGBTQI history and representation and an exploration of masculinity that challenges the traditions of patriarchy.
