Visiting the Isabel Muñoz: A New Story exhibition, the children gain the opportunity to look at reliefs and sculptures, which were made thousands of years ago, through the lens of photography and take a journey towards the art of the past. Inspired by cave art, which includes wild animal depictions, hunting scenes, symbols filled with geometric shapes, and handprints that have survived tens of thousands of years, the children decorate this miniature wall with the symbols and traces they wish, giving their papers a cave-like appearance.
Capacity: 15 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
