Pera Adult
On a guided exhibition tour, participants are inspired by Marcel Dzama's dancing figures, theatrical paintings and video installations such as Death Disco Dance and A Game of Chess to express their creativity through movement. Based on Dzama's original expression that transforms dance into a visual language, they combine collage technique with movement compositions. Throughout the workshop, playful instructions are given to facilitate physical exploration individually and as a group.
Note: It is recommended to come to the workshop in comfortable clothes and sneakers/socks.

Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
