The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, sending 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 of a clay tablet found in Kültepe, which is featured in The Art of Weights and Measures. Designing a unique alphabet where they encode each letter with a symbol, the children write a note on the clay tablets they create with this alphabet as a souvenir of their day at the museum.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
The man is depicted in three-quarters view, turning straight to the viewers with a penetrating glance. The background is grey, while the clothes, the hair, and cap are black.
