Brook

Brook is an independent publishing house based in Paris, specialising in hybrid forms of contemporary writing, poetry, essays, fiction, critique and theory. Founded in 2018 by Rosanna Puyol and Jessica Bambal, Brook focuses on translating into French texts interested in, and nourished by, intersectionality, feminism, antiracism, postcolonial and queer studies.
Brook was initiated as an evolving video programme designed to promote artists' video work, moving image, sound or text based practices across borders, brought to life by curators Róisín McQueirns and Rosanna Puyol.
