Bibliografica Quir is a project by BREVE. It is the work of an Italian lesbian transplanted to the Netherlands via the United Kingdom. In addition to the love of paper, the collection was inspired by a personal research on love between women and it is slowly expanding to include other marginalized identities. Currently the main nucleus of the collection is made up of Italian, English and Dutch books. For more information visit the website: www.breveprojects.org

Bibliografia? From βιβλιογραϕία. A bibliography is a list of publications, either collected thematically or collected in support of a research. The term bibliography is also the name for the doctrine and art of the external description of the book.


Quir *? It’s an Italianization of Queer. I first met the term in this version in the independent magazine Quir, by Nina Peci, active in Florence in the 1990s.
