Inspired by the concept of composting that is at the center of the 17th Istanbul Biennial, this workshop will turn our attention to the life below and above the ground as we look into the cycle of energy and nutrition. With the help of materials such as a sponge, felt and opaque watercolors, we reproduce the endless cycle of plants-bacteria-worms and other earth creatures on our drawing paper. Our imaginations are stimulated as we look at nature and all the aspects of it that we are a part of from a different perspective.

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing. 

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
