Lucia from Russia and her six year old daughter find themselves living in Paris streets. They don’t have a stable residence, they sleep wherever they find. One night in the house of a Russian priest, another night in the social services centre or a four star hotel. They live each day as the day their life would change, meet different people, aimlessly wander around and wait for the miracle that would find them. Because their lives don’t change as they hoped and they started to sleep under the bridge, Russian community buy them tickets to go back home. Maruissa rebels her mother and runs away. On the other hand, she wants to know what a real childhood is like. But what would Lucia do?
The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
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.
Pera Museum’s Instagram account was taken over by “This is Not A Love Song” exhibition’s project managers Fatma Çolakoğlu and Ulya Soley!
