The XVIVth edition of the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival organised by Inizjamed will be held between August 28 and 31, 2024. All events are going to be held at the Valletta Design Cluster and the MCAST Campus in Paola.
The festival will feature seven authors from five different countries: Malika Booker – a British poet of Guyanese and Grenadian parentage, Irene Chias – an Italian novelist residing in Malta, David Aloisio from Malta, Mario Cardona, also from Malta, Raymond Antrobus from the United Kingdom, Josep Pedrals from Catalonia, and Maja Ručević from Croatia.
Readings will be mostly in Maltese and English, but some short works will also be read in their original language.
Rounding off the experience will be the jazz band, The Hinge Project led by Jes Psaila, lovely food and drinks by POPP, and just as importantly, a book stall featuring the works of the guest authors and more.
This year’s festival is supported by Arts Council Malta through the Investment in Cultural Organisations fund, MCAST, APS and Versopolis.
