After some months of uncertainty due to the international situation, we are relaunching the communication for this fall’s Unlock Book Fair. The Municipality of Modena, our main sponsor, is fully supporting the dates. We are working on expanding the facilities to accommodate for distancing regulations.

We are excited to bring together the international graffiti publishing scene, for the fifth year this time. A good number of European and American publishers, both old and new friends, have already signed-up. Applications are open until September 15th.

Our sister event, The Tag Conference, is taking place as well. And, last but not least, local brewer Beer Belly will support Unlock with fresh craft beer. Stay tuned for more news coming up – see you in Modena this fall!

We are happy to announce the fifth instalment of the Unlock Book Fair! It will take in Modena, Northern Italy, in October 24 & 25.

The application process is now open!
