Ten Years of Graffiti Books!<\/h2>\n

A decade of growth \u2014 for graffiti publishing, and for Unlock.<\/h2>\n
\n

Since its first edition in Barcelona in 2016, Unlock has become the scene’s most anticipated annual gathering \u2014 for book lovers and publishers alike. It’s the premier specialised showcase and a hard deadline for projects reaching an international audience.<\/p>\n

This 10th edition at the UNESCO World Heritage Site V\u00f6lklinger H\u00fctte celebrates what’s been built while looking ahead. As contemporary graffiti enters its seventh decade, Unlock gives it the institutional setting it deserves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
