The second edition of PhMuseum’s event dedicated to visual publishing will take place at Serra Madre, Giardini Margherita on 3–4 October 2026, bringing together a curated selection of international, independent publishers, photobook exhibitions, and more.
For the first time, Photobook Mania will be part of our International Photography Festival PhMuseum Days, this year revolving around the concept of Archipelago. In an era of fragmentation and fluid boundaries, the exhibitions, book presentations, workshops, and panel discussions taking place across the city will create a space for archipelagic thought, engaging in dialogue within an open system.
