Have you ever wondered why there are 60 seconds in a minute or 360 degrees in a circle? This is based on Babylonian mathematics written in Akkadian and Sumerian languages in cuneiform on clay tablets! The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, throwing the reader back thousands of years and allowing them to witness the curiosity and efforts of someone who lived many years ago. In the workshop, children traveling back in time are inspired by the replica clay tablet found in Kültepe at the exhibition titled The Art of Weights and Measures and write on clay tablets in cuneiform script.

Capacity: 10 people
Süre: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop:250 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Jean-Michel Basquiat Look At Me!

The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.

“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
