Each photograph not only documents a moment, but also carries the thoughts, feelings and observations that accompany that moment. Through photography, the artist interprets a slice of life, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.
In this workshop, participants will explore the depth of a visual narrative through a photograph selected from the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition, while experiencing how to develop different perspectives, create meaning through visual elements and establish intellectual connections with an image. The workshop aims to see, not just to look; to go beyond the surface and realize the meanings hidden in the details. In this process, participants gain visual literacy knowledge and have the opportunity to analyze how art reflects individual and social stories.

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.
