Children on a guided tour of Calculations and Coincidences are inspired by the geometric arrangements, calculated sequences and colors they encounter in the works in the exhibition. Children, who have learned the handicraft of filography, which is usually created by hammering nails into wood and passing threads or wires of various colors between them, reinterpret this art on an inclined surface. The children randomly drive nails into Styrofoam balls or, according to a particular pattern, weave nets with colorful threads between these nails and create colorful abstract and figurative designs.

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

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

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
