About us - Tantàgora

Tantàgora was founded in 1991 by Teresa Duran and Roser Ros, the latter being its president for more than thirty years. Currently, we continue to work based on his postulates with the help of an interdisciplinary team that provides a transversal and enriching look at the promotion of a taste for reading and literary mediation.

Currently, a team coordinated by Elisenda Llansana and directed by Magalí Homs continues to develop the organization’s projects and challenges both nationally and internationally.
