The workshop is inspired by Adriana Varejão's installation, Carpet Style Tilework on Canvases, in the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future, consisting of 45 canvases of different shapes and sizes stacked on the floor and wall. Participants sit at one of the canvases, arranged side by side on the table to form a single large surface and begin to paint with a motif of their choice. The participants then move clockwise at regular intervals, adding their additions to the motifs and patterns on each canvas. At the end of the workshop, each participant takes the canvas on which they started the process with them as a "souvenir of the future" to remind them of this shared experience.

He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
