Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
The workshop invites you to meet Jeux Dramatiques, an intuitive theatrical learning method that supports children's personality development and helps reinforce basic skills!
The workshop, which children participate in with their parents, creates an inclusive playground where the themes of Marcel Dzama: Dancing with the Moon are interconnected and woven together. At the stations of a puzzle, children and their parents explore the artist, his works, the art movements he feels close to, and his place in art history; at other times, they realize the multi-layered meanings of the artist's works through the steps of the Jeux Dramatiques method. Participants choose their roles in the fairy tale, design their costumes from fabrics and improvise their costumes.

You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
