Books, fanzines* and posters can be consulted during exhibition times, comfortably seated in soft armchairs. They support our reflections on topics ranging from auto-gynecology to testicular contraception, and enrich our knowledge.
To help us gain more active self-awareness and regain power over our bodies, links are provided here to useful resources and downloadable publications.
This collaborative list is nourished by collective intelligence and the free circulation of information. Feel free to add to it with your discoveries, publications or corrections:
