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.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing. 

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
