The discovery of Göbeklitepe seems to change a scientific knowledge that we have accepted as accurate until today. According to this, during the hunter-gatherer period, settled life may have started. The workshop invites children to think about the accuracy of scientific knowledge through this mysterious archaeological site. Photographer Isabel Muñoz's works in the exhibition, which allow us to see Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe and Sayburç up close, illuminate the areas of this discussion that may be overlooked or remain in the dark.

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?
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.
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.
