The Unlock Showcase

Unlock’s pop-up bookstore

Operating between 2017 and 2024, the Unlock Showcase was a travelling bookstore featuring graffiti-related publications selected at the Unlock Book Fair. The bookstore popped up at museums, universities and festivals.

In its numerous travels across Europe, and as far as Mexico and Moscow, the Unlock Showcase allowed hundreds of graffiti book lovers to touch, browse, and purchase books from dozens of independent publishers with limited distribution.

The Unlock Showcase has also provided consultation and acquisition services to libraries including the Library of the Fine Arts Faculty of the Complutense University (Madrid), the Polo Bibliotecario Modenese (Modena), the Martha Cooper Library (Berlin), the Urban Art Archive (Cologne), the Street Art Research Institute (St. Petersburg) and the Library of the Catholic Private University Linz.
