Coffee, Love, and Stains – Stories of Life in a Grain of Espresso

Ivan Jozić

11.04.2025.

18:30 -19:30

MAIN STAGE

Is coffee just a drink – or a symbol of connection?
Is love as intense as an espresso, or as gentle and layered as a latte? In this unique talk, a writer, a ceramic artist and a barista will intertwine literature, handcrafted ceramics and the aroma of coffee into a story about love, intimacy, and everyday rituals.

For one hour, we’ll explore how morning rituals and shared coffees shape the stability of our relationships, how small things – like a coffee stain – can trigger bigger conflicts, and what different types of cups might actually symbolize.

📖 Ivan Jozić will read excerpts from his books Atlas of Stains and Morning Coffees, drawing us into a world of emotions and life’s small (and big) dilemmas.
💬 Filpa Sorko, founder of ChiaCups – handmade dotted ceramics – will share her perspective on how objects we use every day tell quiet stories.
Barista Mia Miljeković will guide us through the preparation of various types of coffee, turning each brew into a sensory experience.

🎤 Bonus: An interactive segment with the audience – share your coffee stories and join the conversation!

Come, listen, sip – and maybe discover whether your love is more like a strong espresso or a creamy cappuccino.

In addition, you’ll be able to enjoy a mini exhibition of coffee-themed prints by academic painter Vida Meić and writer Ivan Jozić.
