Participants apply embroidery techniques such as embroidery punch on a pre-designed pattern, needle felting, appliqué with leather pieces, wood beadwork, and Ghiordes knotting on a pattern composed of visuals from the Isabel Muñoz: A New Story exhibition. While working on their fabrics, participants immerse themselves in the enchanting photographs of Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, and Sayburç, discovering the meanings and contemporary uses of the animal symbols present in the photographs.
