In late October and early November 2026, Turin hosted several cultural events. The Phonetics experimental art publishing festival took place from October 30 to November 1 in a repurposed paint factory in the Aurora district. Founded by Matteo Milaneschi and Margherita Rossi, the event functioned as a hybrid fair and laboratory, featuring international publishers and artists from various countries including Italy, France, the United States, and Egypt.

Following this, the XV edition of The Others Art Fair concluded at Parcheggio Lancia in the Borgo San Paolo district. Directed by Lorenzo Bruni, the fair included 54 international and Italian exhibitors. During the same period, Turin Art Week featured multiple citywide exhibitions, including celebrations for the centenary of Marisa Merz at Castello di Rivoli, GAM, and Fondazione Merz, as well as installations by Song Dong and Alberto Savinio.
