Participants who visit PƎRⱯ Reverse are inspired by the work of Contact Zines, where each artist in the exhibition makes three-minute exploratory tours around Istanbul, taking notes and turning them into a collective sharing medium. Personal memory notebooks are designed in the workshop, which reflects on the relationship between collective memory and space. The notebooks designed by the participants in this workshop, where the places visited in the city are brought together with the tools of emotion and remembrance, continue to be shaped by the memories of each place visited after the workshop. 

Instructor: Damla Yalçın
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL 

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.

The First Nudes

The First Nudes

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
