Tutifruti’s Poetry Photobook Workshop, presented at the Miami Zine Fair, guided participants through shooting and binding their own poetry photobook while exploring narrative storytelling as a resource for emotional processing. Each participant used a camera that printed adhesive-backed images to create a photobook telling the story of an emotion.

Through open discussion, timed journal activities, example images, and a photowalk, participants developed a narrative poem inspired by a specific emotion and transformed their idea into a handbound photobook. An emotion wheel helped pinpoint a particular feeling, serving as the foundation for journaling, photography, and poetry.

After binding their books, participants engaged in a discussion on narrative storytelling as a form of emotional processing and the significance of expressing emotions through words and images. The project concluded with an opportunity to share their completed works before taking home their poetry photobooks.
