Pera Learning is organizing face-to-face exhibition tours and workshops for students and teachers of different ages from November 11 to 19, 2023 as part of the Midterm Break Workshops.
Creative art workshops will take place after guided exhibition tours the Souvenirs of the Future and On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History. Participants between the ages of 4-12 draw inspiration from the colorful world of ceramics and pottery motifs as well as the impressive panoramas of Istanbul. In a workshop exclusively for teachers, broken ceramics and marble objects take on entirely new meanings through the art of repair (Kintsukuroi).
Tickets for workshops can be purchased from Biletix.
There is a 50% discount for PERAkart FAMILY members.

The exhibition focuses on the memories recalled through objects whilst exploring the connections between memory and future imaginings through a contemporary lens. The cultural and symbolic value and significance of objects taken as souvenirs, those that remind us of a certain place and time, or those that are collected, weave together personal journeys and the memory of the region. Instead of a nostalgic attachment to the past, it proposes contemplating how the future will be remembered and focuses on memory's future-oriented functions.
The exhibition aims to shed new light on the history of Istanbul’s representations through panoramic paintings and photographs. It critically approaches the history of the "panorama" and contextualizes its many iterations. While examining the layered relationships in the production and consumption of panoramic images, the exhibition also explores the circulation of these images among different audiences, their receptions, and the connections between various media that have gained popularity over centuries.
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.
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.
