Seeing and Hearing the Composition

Pera Adult

  • January 3, 2025 / 19:00

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.

Instructor: Hanife Nurbahar Kurtlu
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 400 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

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.

Remembering the Future

Remembering the Future

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
