- OPEN BOOK: A 2SLGBTQIA+ Human Library
- OPEN BOOK: A 2SLGBTQIA+ Human Library is a powerful storytelling event that brings together 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomer and refugee community members from around the world to share their lived experiences in a safe, affirming, and inclusive environment. Hosted by the Rainbow Refugee Association of Nova Scotia (RRANS) in partnership with QueerArabsHalifax, the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Programs, and HalifaxPublicLibrary, the event transforms people into “human books” who engage in one-on-one or small group conversations with attendees. These “books” include refugees, newcomers, and long-time residents, each offering personal narratives that explore themes of identity, migration, resilience, and belonging. Held annually for the last couple of years at the Halifax Central Library, OPEN BOOK creates opportunities for empathy, connection, and learning between participants and the broader public. The event challenges stigma and stereotypes while fostering meaningful dialogue and community understanding. The Human Library continues to be an accessible, impactful, and community-driven initiative that uplifts the voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers and refugees and builds bridges across cultures and lived experiences.
