Beyond Reality, At the Edge of Dream

May 9 - June 1, 2025

The program “Beyond Reality, At the Edge of Dream”, organized as part of the Marcel Dzama: Dancing with the Moon exhibition, offers exhibition tours and creative workshops for all adults aged 18 and over.

The program brings Dzama's universe full of fairy tale narratives, dance, costume, and performance elements into interactive workshops that will stimulate the participants’ imagination.  From papier-mâché masks to a writing workshop based on the titles of Dzama's works, from improvisational dance to playful storytelling, these workshops aim to bring participants together in a common world inspired by the artist's work.

In the workshops led by expert artists and instructors, participants reinterpret Dzama's theatrical fiction with their own visual and verbal expressions, and find the opportunity to produce original works with elements such as color, movement, narrative, and mask.

Tickets for workshops can be purchased from Biletix.
There is a 20% discount for Pera Museum Friendship Program members.

Nudes With Mirrors

Nudes With Mirrors

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet. 

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
