Which art forms can we use to express our ideas? How can we define freedom? In this workshop, we talk about children’s rights and freedom, and exchange our opinions on these concepts. We first listen to the songs “Freedom” and “Children’s Rights” produced by the music group Şubadap Çocuk. Then, with inspiration from various paintings, posters and drawings which are part of the exhibition Socialist Realism in Albanian Art, notably the piece “International Children’s Day, 1 June, 1982”, we create a slogan and design a poster that aims to visualize our own ideas about freedom.

Audience with the Mad King

Audience with the Mad King

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.

The Golden Horn

The Golden Horn

When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
