One After Another: Play with Words

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • January 11, 2025 / 13:30

Based on Vera Molnár's series called 1% Disorder, children pursue the concepts of ‘order’ and ‘randomness’. Children find a word frequently used, heard, or that comes to their mind at that moment and write it with a chosen material or create it with the collage method in the workshop where letters, words and different colors turn into a playground. In the workshop, where new words and perhaps nursery rhymes emerge as they are written one after another, alienated words are discovered with their new possibilities.

Atölye Yürütücüsü: Virna Gülzari, Karin Özdemircioğlu
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 120 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Wondrous Cures in Constantinople

Wondrous Cures in Constantinople

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.

The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
