Orgull

Within the framework of LGTBI Pride Day on 28 June, Barcelona Llibres and the Barceona LGTBI Centre are celebrating the publication of the new book Darrere les persianes with a promotional campaign on Instagram.

Darrere les persianes [Behind the Blinds] is the latest graphic novel in the collection “Barcelona en Vinyetes” [Barcelona in Vignettes], from Barcelona Llibres, which tells the untold story of lesbians in Barcelona through the eyes of two young students. A book devised by Maria Giralt, with text by Isabel Franc and illustrations by Rosa Navarro.

The graphic novel has been available in book shops since the start of the month and it will be presented at the Barcelona LGBTI Centre on Thursday 20 June at 6.00 pm. Participating in the event will be the authors of the book, Maio Serrasolsas, transfeminist artist and lesbian activist, and Javier Rodríguez Núnez, Commissioner for Children, Adolescents, Youth and LGTBI Policies.

On Wednesday 19 June, the day before the book launch event, we’ll be announcing the winners of the three copies of the book. If you would like to win one of them, you can take part in the campaign on social media, under the following rules.
