The relationship between fluidity, coincidence and intervention, which we frequently encounter in Samih Rifat's work, allows for both an experimental connection with the material and the creation of a personal interpretive space in the workshop. Participants have the chance to reproduce the layered and sensuous surface effects observed in Rifat's works with their own experiences by applying ink to different surfaces through methods such as spraying, dripping and printing.
In the second stage of the workshop, the compositions are shaped with pencil drawings on the resulting stains and color transitions. In this way, the participants shape their visual narratives with an intuitive and intellectual approach, just like Samih Rifat.
Capacity: 10 people

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.
You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
