The FLINTA* Bookshelf Collective
Smashing the patriarchy one book at a time!
ABOUT US
English-speaking FLINTA* people of Berlin who like community building through books and crafts
Our focus is intersectional feminism, politics, gender and queerness. We strive to create a safe(r) space where everyone is treated with kindness and respect and feels safe to speak and speak up.
We organise events around literature and arts&crafts. We believe in taking up space by creating space.

HOT FROM THE PRESS
The FLINTA* Bookshelf
Every new season, we also publish a newsletter with a book review for you to read while waiting on a red light (because Ordnung muss sein! and at least you are in a good company) or in front of a cafe because your date is either late or not showing up.
Say hi!
You might find our stickers all around Berlin. If you do, tag us on Instagram and say hi!
