After watching a short segment of the animation inspired by the Pera Museum exhibitions, children accompany the adventures of a time-traveling ambassador and a monkey from the Turkish harem. In the workshop, children draw the mouth movements corresponding to the letters, frame by frame, and then use the stop-motion technique to create animations. The children learn the basics of lip synchronization in animation, adding movement to centuries-old paintings.

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
