FotoFest

Within Uncle Bob's Photo Zine & Book Market, our Learning Program hosted an all-ages workshop, FotoFun Family Day: Zine-making!

In this hands-on experience, guests gained insight into the world of bookmaking by creating their very own mini-zines with personal and provided materials.

"An Evening of Sound and Verse," co-presented with ALMAAHH, featured a synergetic commingling of live music and poetry alongside the impactful photography of the FotoFest Biennial 2026.

Multimedia artist Sofia Silueta drew upon her rose-adorned cello in a performance of ritualistic sound as Houston Poet Laureate Reyes Ramirez recited poetry reflecting a deep engagement with language, culture, and place, activating the space with incredible interdiscplinary presence.
