Paper Weaving Designs

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • November 18, 2020 / 13:00

Are we able to recognize the texture of objects without touching them? Can we create designs that give different senses through sight or touch? We weave paper with inspiration from the artist Noor Ali Chagani’s The Hanging Rug made of handmade miniature bricks. We use a weaving technique to create interwoven 3D designs out of colored railroad boards.

Game of Mangala

Game of Mangala

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
