October 8 > 11, 2026

In its nineteenth edition, Swab places at the centre of its programme the construction of community and the creation of shared value around art. This purpose shapes its role as a meeting point for artistic practices that question the conditions under which they are produced and circulated. In this sense, the fair extends beyond the exhibition space, fostering relationships through an expanded programme. At the same time, Swab 2026 offers a critical reflection on the tensions and convergences between the dynamics of the art market and the creative freedom of artists. This approach seeks to bring into dialogue the economic frameworks that structure the art system with contemporary practices that, through experimentation and autonomy, redefine its limits.
