After visiting Intersecting Worlds and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide, children take a historical journey into Istanbul's past by examining the centuries-old portraits and cityscapes in the paintings. In the workshop, children cut out details from the printouts of different paintings selected from the exhibition and place them between transparent films. They intervene with various decorative materials such as colored string and paints and finalize their collages with a laminating machine.

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.
