“Moving Visegrad” contemporary dance choreographic residency is part of the 3rd Visegrad- Turkish Culture Festival that aims to promote the culture of the Visegrad region, including Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
Although the four Visegrad countries carry their own national and cultural uniqueness, the geographical proximity has created a common identity that they all share. The project offers a possibility to present these features in Turkey where the eastern part of Europe receives very little notice. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for Turkey to achieve more visibility in contemporary arts, almost unknown to the culture makers in Europe.
Throughout the two-week contemporary dance choreographic, the group of five dancers will work with the choreographer Evrim Akyay and on November 18, they will perform on the “Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters” exhibition floor.
Free of admissions. This event will take place in the “Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters” exhibition gallery.

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
Pera Museum Blog is launching a new series of creepy stories in collaboration with Turkey’s Fantasy and Science Fiction Arts Association (FABISAD). The Association’s member writers are presenting newly commissioned short horror stories inspired by the artworks of Mario Prassinos as part of the Museum’s In Pursuit of an Artist: Istanbul-Paris-Istanbul exhibition. The third story is by Murat Başekim! The stories will be published online throughout the exhibition. Stay tuned!
