Ravenna is hosting the fifth edition of the Coconino Fest, a major Italian festival dedicated to contemporary graphic novels, running from May 30 to June 2, 2026, with a preview on May 29. The festival's headquarters will be the MAR – Museo d’Arte della città di Ravenna, featuring exhibitions by international artists including David Prudhomme, Olivier Schrauwen, Miguel Vila, and Japanese manga artist Yamamoto Miki. The Biblioteca Classense will host an exhibition by Lebanese artist and performer Mazen Kerbaj. The program includes talks, book signings, and interdisciplinary events blending comics with music, theater, and performance, such as a dialogue between Vinicio Capossela and David Prudhomme on Greek Rebetiko music, and a tribute to Miles Davis by trumpeter Paolo Fresu and cartoonist Paolo Parisi. A collaboration with the Ravenna Festival will present a theatrical adaptation of a graphic novel by Chiara Lagani and Mara Cerri.
