If you were a Roman merchant living in Anatolia during the Roman Empire, what would you experience in the bazaar in one day?
You are an Assyrian merchant in the early 2nd millennium BC, and you made a long and tiring journey from Mesopotamia to Anatolia. What would your first night be like in Karum Kanesh, the great commercial city of Kayseri, today? Exploring the past is full of mysteries and lots of fun. In this workshop, children embark on a journey to the past mediated by their imagination, inspired by the works in The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition. The stories they construct together with the fictions and dreams about history are shared by turning into painting, song, poetry, sculpture and even dance.

Pera Museum Blog is launching a new series of creepy stories in collaboration with Turkey’s Fantasy and Science Fiction Arts Association (FABISAD).

The third story is by Murat Başekim! The stories will be published online throughout the exhibition. Stay tuned!
I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
