Directed by Lucrecia Martel, one of independent cinema's most daring and consistent auteur filmmakers, The Headless Woman competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This haunting allegory traces the lingering effects of trauma while delicately unravelling the complexities of class dynamics and the roles assigned to women in a male-dominated world.

After visiting Coffee Break, children examine a selection of plates with human figures from the Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection, illustrated using a book about costumes in 18th-century daily life. The children paste the printouts of different human figures on cardboard plates and decorate around the figures using materials such as beads of various colors and sizes.

While touring Coffee Break with a guide, the children encounter the shapes and colors of tile motifs and the different effects created when repetitive motifs are used in various combinations. Inspired by this encounter, the children add their decorations to the cardboard plates with stencil printing and design the coffee pots by cutting and pasting details such as handles and lids.

After visiting the exhibitions titled Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters and Osman Hamdi Bey with a guide, children examine the centuries-old portraits in the paintings and discuss people's clothing, accessories, posture, and expressions. In the workshop, the details of the figures in these paintings are cut out and placed between transparent films. They use various decorative materials and paints to create new characters and finalize their collages with a laminating machine.
