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.

Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. This week we are sharing Ziem’s work inspired by Istanbul and “the East”!
French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
