Magical Mirrors

Pera Enabled

In this workshop, after an instructor-led exhibition tour of Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done”, students are introduced to Samih Rifat's works on photography and, in particular, his self-portrait taken through mirrors. Just as people used mirrors to paint self-portraits before the invention of the camera, students design mirrors on which they can also paint themselves using materials such as beads, stamps, black background cardboard, and mirrored cardboard.

Reminiscences of Motifs

Reminiscences of Motifs

As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations? 

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
