  • July 27, 2024 / 10:30

This workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎR Reverse, uses wooden blocks with prints that have funny eyes, big mouths and many other features that make it easy to create fun characters. Children create fun characters by stacking the blocks on top of each other, combining them in different ways, and if they don't like them, rearranging them repeatedly to create completely different characters. The character they like the most, whose design never ends and contains new possibilities, is immortalized on paper using colored paints.

Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

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

At the Order of the Padishah

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms. 

Return from Vienna

Return from Vienna

Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
