Aesop Queer Library

June is Pride Month, and in honor of celebrating and representing the LGBTQ+community, Australian skin care company Aesop is bringing back its Queer Library initiative.

Aesop Queer Library will deliver a comprehensive stock of titles all centered around the Queer experience.

The books range from forgotten titles to culture-defining classics, and puts a big focus on independent names and emerging authors.

Aesop’s Soho, London store will become host to a panel discussion titled “Repeated Histories.” It is facilitated by A Vibe Called Tech, hosted by its founder Charlene Prempeh and Creative Director Lewis Dalton Gilbert. Featured speakers include Paul Mendez, Erica Gillingham, and Dr. Peter Ely, who will discuss the importance of preserving stories from marginalized communities.

Banned or challenged titles from the U.S. and Canada will also be available at shops in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto.

The Aesop Queer Library opens on June 29 until July 2.
