Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Children are inspired by Gizella Rákóczy's watercolors, in which the same color is layered in different numbers and the resulting light and dark tones diversify the compositions. After examining these layered works, which intersect with each other to create new colors, the children design a cylindrical lamp by gluing colored transparent papers on top of each other in various ways. At the end of the workshop, children experience the surprise colors emitted by their lamps by placing electronic candles inside their designs.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
Mersad Berber was born in Bosanski Petrovac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on January 1st. He was the first son of Muhammed Berber and Sadika Berber, a well-known weaver and embroiderer. A year later, the family moved to Banja Luka after the city had suffered damage from the World War II.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
