How would Vera Molnár’s paintings of intertwined squares and seemingly irregular lines or Gizella Rákóczy's paintings of four-armed spirals changing direction be heard if they were sounds? In the workshop, the participants utilize basic design principles to evaluate visual compositions and then journey into the magical world of sound. In the workshop, where the boundaries between seeing and hearing are blurred by transforming selected works from the exhibition into auditory compositions, objects and sounds from everyday life are used to unleash creativity.

Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
