Graphic Days
Visual and social design invades the former Sant'Agostino prison
About Graphic Days
Design enters prison
Graphic Days is the festival dedicated to visual and social design born in Turin in 2016 and arriving for the first time in Savona, in an exceptional venue: the former Sant'Agostino Prison, which reopens to the public for the occasion. A place steeped in history becomes a stage for creativity and visual communication.
Exhibitions, workshops, and meetings
The program is rich and diverse: exhibitions such as "Beyond Words", "Note to Self" by Guido de Boer, "Disegni Malfatti", and the XIV edition of Posterheroes; workshops dedicated to creative programming and space design; Live Printing sessions, Coffee Talks, and Portfolio Reviews for young designers.
Design at the service of people
"We Mix Design and People" is the festival's manifesto: for Graphic Days, design has not only an aesthetic value but also a social function, capable of conveying messages and raising community awareness. The arrival in Savona confirms the format's vocation to influence new places and new cities, making the provincial capital a capital of design for four days.
Graphic Days — edition 2026
The first edition of Graphic Days in Savona, from May 7 to 10, 2026, reopened the former Sant'Agostino Prison to the public, transforming it into a large visual communication laboratory.
