We know that it feels so difficult to navigate the world, right now, and we wanted to create a space to foster discussion about the turbulent times we’re in.

Culture Exposure Book Club is an inclusive anti-oppression bookclub, designed in association with The Office Hour Collective. Every month we will pick a book written by someone from a marginalized community—written to express the experience of that person. We will then share a discussion about representation, marginalized communities, and anti-oppression concepts.

We will end the night with a Q&A where you can ask the questions that you might be afraid to ask, and a healing conversation about ways to move forward.

Barbara's Bookstores have been Chicago's independent booksellers since 1963.
