Zaragoza, 5 September 2026 — The Fundación Caja Rural de Aragón has announced the second edition of the literary series Leer para Ver for 22 September 2026. A new addition is the accompanying series Leer para Ver Business, which aims to extend the existing format with discussions focused on business.
According to the foundation, the programme’s core remains the connection between literature and contemporary thought. The new Business strand is designed to link questions of ethics, innovation and strategy explicitly with a humanistic perspective, and to bring executives, entrepreneurs and professionals into the conversation. The venue will again be the foundation’s building in Zaragoza.
The artistic direction remains in the hands of Loredana Vitale. She confirmed the opening date and emphasised the curatorial approach of bringing together authors with distinctive perspectives on social and economic issues. The new season will feature, among others, Cruz Sánchez de Lara, Laureano Turienzo, Javier Chicote, Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz and Cristina Martín Jiménez as announced. The foundation’s account is the basis for the allocation of subject areas and the choice of guests.
The Fundación Caja Rural de Aragón points to its work in Aragón, La Rioja and Catalonia, and sees the format as a contribution to regional education and cultural development. The first edition had already built a loyal audience in Zaragoza, and the foundation hopes to build on that. In the organisers’ view, the planned focus on the intersection of culture and business will help reach new audiences and explore how literary and critical thinking can be applied in professional settings.
The announcement on 5 September 2026 is the current news. The programme is due to start on 22 September 2026, in the future; its content and guests are provisional and based on information from the organisers. The events themselves will provide the first indication of their themes and local reception. For wider cultural policy questions – such as the relationship between privately funded cultural support and proximity to business – the second edition offers an example from Zaragoza to observe.
