Plantal Motifs with Underglaze Painting

Pera Adult

  • July 19, 2024 / 19:00

Participants take a guided tour of PƎRⱯ Reverse and are inspired by the installation guzmania2103 in the Globals section of the exhibition, which uses the guzmania plant as a symbol of local-global dichotomies. The participants reinterpret the plant forms that they often encounter in everyday life in the city with a different eye and transfer their drawings onto biscuit ceramic plates. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.

Note: Participants can pick up their ceramics, which will be sent for firing, from the museum within the time and date intervals to be shared with them.

Instructor: Damla Yeşiloğlu
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

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

It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.

He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.

The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
