Graphic Design Fair 2026

Nieuwe Instituut and NAi Booksellers are organising a new edition of the Graphic Design Fair, with the theme of Rooting Networks. By celebrating the connections that can help graphic design flourish, the fair creates a space where paths cross, ideas branch out and collaborations take root.

Just as fungal networks collaborate by connecting different plants within an ecosystem, professional design practice is also underpinned by systems of exchange, including the sharing of knowledge, mentorship, skills and opportunities.

The Graphic Design Fair programme is structured around such moments of exchange. It includes Pecha Kucha lectures, workshops, keynote speeches and portfolio sessions, where ideas are shared, skills are passed on and new directions are forged.

More information about the full programme will follow soon.
