After visiting PƎRⱯ Reverse, the participants rethink the collective urban memory, which is characterized by textures, images and the different associations that all these create in everyone's mind. Participants are first invited to walk around the museum, paying attention to elements of memory that might otherwise be overlooked. After photographing architectural details and textures that reflect the identity, language and colors of the region, the participants return to the workshop area and make a texture collage on a pre-prepared plan map.
Instructor: Arek Qaddra, Beste Kopuz
Capacity: 10 people

I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
