Six meetings with as many authors, four workshops for adults, children, and teens, and several locations throughout the city center and other neighborhoods: "Tea with Author" is back, the reading promotion project organized by the Artisti Fuori Posto association with the support of the Municipality of Cagliari.
The 2026 edition will run from October to December with a program that combines public meetings, books, live readings, and educational activities. The goal is to introduce different audiences to reading and writing, bringing the events to various locations around the city and also involving schools.
Artistic direction is entrusted to Francesca Saba, who will lead the six literary meetings. The format calls for authors to discuss their relationships with books, reading, writing, and libraries, directly engaging the audience. The conversations will be accompanied by readings by professional actors, including Anna Murgia, Alessandro Pani, Filippo Salaris, and Piero Murenu.
