GRAPHIC DAYS® KIDS
Grow younger! The seventh edition of the Graphic Days® festival, which took place from September 17 to October 2, is dedicated to the Kids theme through three interpretations: Design For Kids, Design Like Kids and Design By Kids. 
In 2022 the festival changed format and adopted a widespread approach in the city through a program of initiatives structured in 6 main locations and articulated over time. 
From the world of publishing, to the production of games to the development of dedicated programs by cultural institutions, children in fact offer a field of constant experimentation for visual design and social design.




Docks Dora
Two days of exhibitions, workshops, video projections, performances: a calendar of activities directly curated by Graphic Days® and by the residents within the Docks Dora and a market fair with the works of artisans and artists, live performances and impromptu workshop activities.




Spazio Musa
Exhibition “La breve storia di quasi tutto” di  Lucio Schiavon.
A retrospective on the illustrator’s work and a path based on the Kids theme, created specifically for the festival.




Cavallerizza Reale
The universe of Kids was addressed through the exhibition of the work of artists and designers and with appointments dedicated to illustration and graphics, accompanied by musical and performative moments to animate the courtyard.
Cas Holman, internationally renowned toy designer and selected from the award-winning documentary series “Abstract: The Art of Design” on Netflix, among the guests of the festival: a talk with Luca Boscardin and Raphael Pluvinage, a workshop for the implementation of her approach to the game and an exhibition inside the Cavallerizza Reale.




Print Club Torino
4 practical workshops within the spaces of a creative printing laboratory, led by tutors: Luca Boscardin, Rocío Egío, Zetafonts, Ola Niepsuj.




Casa del Pingone

On the occasion of its reopening to the public, Casa del Pingone hosted the “Cromoblock” exhibition by the artist Riccardo Ten Colombo and a calendar of workshops and appointments.




Cumiana15

An event dedicated to Kids, open to schools and families, with 40 workshops that involved 6-11 year olds in visual design activities.




In the city

41 appointments in two days, September 27 and 29, and spread around 11 Turin districts, with a small focus in the municipality of Settimo Torinese, realized through the collaboration of more than 80 design studios, artists and partners operating in the area. Go to the selected section.




The visual
_
The visual design starts from the perspective of generating an organic system that can embrace the graphic identity of the 2022 edition of the festival and be the basis for unique generative artwork. Each design phase rests on a parametric approach, through the synergy of tools and experimentation, to produce a complex result that can enhance articulation and uniqueness in the multitude. With the genesis of the first form also comes the equation to generate infinite diversified declinations. Then, as a natural consequence of geometry, the design of the colour formula, an element of vitality and dynamism, is born.





On the occasion of the 7th edition of the Graphic Days® festival, we created inside Cavallerizza Reale an immersive-experiential space with the aim of connecting the world of visual design and NFT with the universe of children. Thanks to the encounter between digital and the manual skills, we gave life to unique works: the visual of the festival has been declined in many outputs through the use of different techniques, from screen printing to risograph, to the creation of fabrics and each work has a corresponding NFT.
