My Other Half

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • May 10, 2025 / 13:30

After visiting Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” with a guide, children examine Rifat's photographs and reflect on portrait photographs that have the power to tell many stories in a single frame. In the workshop, children create an original portrait, one half completed with photographs and the other half with drawings. In the workshop, where the real is enriched with the element of imagination, children discover new artistic expressions from the combination of photography and drawing.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 400 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Transition to Sculpture

Transition to Sculpture

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
