Cute Swinging Bats

Pera Kids
Ages 4-6

  • April 19, 2025 / 10:30

We bring together the bats that Marcel Dzama often painted with the polka dot figures that he loved to include in his works!

In the workshop, children design bats that swing back and forth by folding paper plates, adding wings and painting them in the colors of their choice. While designing cardboard versions of these creatures, which are also known for sleeping upside down without falling, children develop their hand skills and explore their creativity.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

From two portraits of children…

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.

Giorgio de Chirico

Giorgio de Chirico

Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
