GRAF is a festival dedicated to auteur comics and independent publishing that turns Barcelona into a hub of graphic creativity. It takes place in distinctive urban spaces, away from the commercial mainstream, bringing together illustrators, publishers and enthusiasts in a genuinely creative atmosphere. Each edition is an invitation to explore new ways of telling stories through images – from zines to graphic performances – alive with paper, ink and talent.
This is good to know
Far more than a fair, it is an open platform for discovering new voices, connecting with independent publishers and exploring forms of graphic expression that sit outside the mainstream.
Alongside stands featuring zines and artists, there are talks with established creators, hands-on workshops for all ages, a children’s area, live music and events that bring together graphic art, music and live performance.
