Unlock Book Fair
Modena, 24-25 October 2020

The Unlock Book Fair is the international gathering of publishers working with graffiti and related topics. After four annual instalments in Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam and Cologne, and several offshoot events in cities across Europe, the fair celebrates its fifth anniversary in Modena, Northern Italy.
In addition to the displays of publishers from all over Europe and beyond, Unlock will again feature a complete program of launches, readings, talks and screenings. This year’s venue is a former industrial building with a comfortable outdoor space.
If you love books, magazines and fanzines about graffiti and related topics (street art, urban exploration, street photography, etc), don’t miss this extraordinary weekend-long meeting of cutting-edge, independent and underground projects. Plus drinks and music outside on the Saturday evening! Entrance is free.
If you are a publisher working in these fields, don’t miss this unique opportunity for networking and for showcasing your publications to a highly specialised international audience – a good part of our public travels to attend the fair. We are open to proposals for book launches and other events. In addition to our traditional complimentary catering for publishers, this year we have some accommodation grants available upon request.
