The Art of Noticing: TutiFruti's Photobook Workshop

Capture emotions through photography and poetry in a hands-on creative workshop. The Art of Noticing: TutiFruti's Photobook Workshop will be held on Saturday, April 19 at the Miami Zine Fair in Paradise Plaza, Miami Design District. Part of the O, Miami Poetry Festival, this workshop offers three sessions throughout the day at 12:15 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3:45 p.m., each lasting approximately 75 minutes.

Participants will receive a camera that prints adhesive-backed images, which they'll use to create a narrative photobook centered around a specific emotion. The workshop incorporates guided activities including timed journaling, a photo walk and bookbinding techniques. An emotion wheel helps attendees identify feelings that serve as the foundation for their creative process.

The session concludes with group discussion about narrative storytelling as a tool for emotional processing and an opportunity for participants to share their completed works. Each attendee takes home their handbound poetry photobook.

This event is presented by Isa Marie Garcia and TutiFruti, a South Florida nonprofit organization focused on promoting mental health and wellness through skating and art activities that foster community engagement and self-expression.
