Did you know that there are also fairy tales where princesses save princes, the hero does not fit into the norms of beauty, and we do not even have to know the gender of the heroes?
Inspired by Paula Rego, who produces a new discourse based on fairy tales and stories in her works, the participants look at fairy tales from a new perspective and set out to add new images to the horizon of their imagination. Using body percussion and drama in the narrative process, the children who go to the “Tale Island” together weave the tales with the associations formed in their imaginations. Returning from their imaginary journey to the “Tale Island”, the children create their own fairy tale books with pastel paints.

Jean-Léon Gérôme is among the most renowned artists of the second half of the 19th century. One of the most fervent advocates of academic painting, Gérôme declared a personal war against modern movements such as Impressionism.
Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
