Shining Pera: Designing Chandeliers

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • July 20, 2024 / 10:30

Have you ever noticed the old-style chandeliers with shiny crystals at the Museum’s Cafe? One of these chandeliers has been taken upstairs to the exhibition floors to be shown at PƎR Reverse, while a completely different light source was used as its replacement. At this workshop, kids who are inspired by the exhibition design a chandelier of Pera Museum. By using transparent papers, paints and the playful interactions of light, the kids get hands-on experience in working with concepts, such as color theory, transparency, and light.

Instructor: Pley Studio
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL  

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

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.
