Photobook Speed Date with Josh Aronson

Photobook Speed Date is a playful, artist-led program by Miami-based photographer Josh Aronson. Designed to spark connection through a shared love of photobooks and art books, this lively exchange mimics the format of a traditional speed date — just without the romance.

Participants are invited to bring a beloved photobook or art book and share its pages in quick, timed rotations, creating brief but meaningful conversations inspired by images, stories, and personal reflections.
