Powered by female excellence, Sister Library is a space to celebrate female creativity. The library is an evolving participatory project founded by Aqui Thami in Bombay in 2017. The Dhaka branch is independent and has been hosting readings since 2020 as a collaborative effort of HerStory Foundation and the Goethe-Institut.
We only read women, but we welcome all.
In partnership with Bookworm Bangladesh, to help you read more women
In early 2024, Sister Library (Dhaka) acquired a collection of 100 zines curated by Aqui Thami. The collection spans many topics from poetry, art to protest and resistance movements from all over the globe. This is the foundation of what we hope to become a common practice for creatives and writers, as a form of self-reliance and defiance against authoritarian control over media.
Sister Library (Dhaka) in collaboration with Daily Star Books & Literature has organised workshops and exhibitions
