Inspired by the artist's fairytale and mysterious universe, children cut eva paper to create colorful animal masks, recreating the winges of a bat, the feathers of an owl or the pointed ears of a fox. After a guided tour of the exhibition, each participant transforms the animal face they have designed into a three-dimensional mask, and at the end of the event, they step into the imaginary fairy tale scene wearing this fun, personal mask.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 500 TL

The event will take place in the Pera Museum.
