Inspired by tile motifs that carry traces of the past and designed in line with the conceptual framework of the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future, this workshop offers participants an experience where they can apply traditional techniques with today's materials. Led by ceramic artist Cansu Sakız, participants in the workshop draw inspiration from contemporary works featuring cobalt blue, commonly used in Kütahya tiles. They then learn about the blue and white tile style and bring their designs to life on ceramic bisques by transferring patterns, embellishing with a brush, and using coloring techniques.
Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.

I think it was Frank Zappa – though others claim it was Laurie Anderson – who said in an interview that ‘writing on music is much like dancing on architecture’.
In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
