Rokko is a feminist, queer, radical bookstore and coffee bar in Ghent, built around bringing the margins to the centre. It runs as a cooperative, with a book selection focused on decolonisation, feminism, gender studies, LGBTQIA+ topics and the environment, spanning poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, children's books and graphic novels, favouring lesser-known publishers and authors over commercial bestsellers.
The coffee bar makes it a community space as much as a shop, and it hosts debates, performances, workshops and book presentations alongside the day-to-day selling of books.
