Unlock Book Fair 2020 confirmed for its scheduled dates, October 24 & 25
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!
Unlock Book Fair 2020: Modena, Italy!
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!
See info here.
“Punk Graffiti Archives: Madrid” book launch in Madrid!
Punk Graffiti Archives: Madrid covers the country’s punk-originated graffiti scene that thrived in the second half of the eighties. The book was published as a companion to last year’s Unlock Book Fair, which took place in Amsterdam in December 8–9 under the topic “punk and graffiti”. It features plenty of rare documentation, including vintage images and newspaper articles translated into English.
This coming Friday 25th we will be in Madrid celebrating the launch of the second, expanded edition of the book. The event will also include the launch of the book’s sister volume Punk Graffiti Archives: The Netherlands. Two extremely obscure video-documents of Amsterdam’s punk graffiti years will be screened.
Friday 25th October 2019
19–22h
El Keller, at the basement of CSA La Tabacalera
Embajadores 53
Madrid
Free entrance
