Creating Random Words

School Groups
Middle School

Face-to-Face

How do you think you would feel about reading words randomly brought together? Dadaists had the goal of subverting traditional values and creating a brand-new approach to art. In this word-play workshop, we first choose an object from our backpack, and then we use the first letter of the object’s name to create a new word. We’lldivide into groups and quickly say the very first word that comes to mind. The last person in the group says their word out loud and will make a special noise to alert others that the game is finished. Through this workshop, we learn about Dadaist word games, improve our Turkish language skills and concentration, and learn how to create new words and keep rhythm.

Postcard Nudes

Postcard Nudes

The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
