Talk and Book Signing
October 24, 2017 / 18:30
How do the tales open our path? Is it possible that texts which date back to such old times can create motion in a modern person’s life? Can tricks of our minds, in other words dreaming, show us the way out of the problems that we are not able to solve by analytical thinking? After her new book Start the Journey with Tales, published by hep kitap, Judith Lieberman is meeting with art-lovers in Pera Museum. During the talk, presented by hep kitap and Pera Museum, the Author explains how we can bring the curative effect of tales into our lives with examples from her book, which leads us on of a 40-day long adventure.
Judith Liberman is a storyteller, art therapist, speaker and trainer based in Istanbul. She hosts a weekly storytelling show on national radio channel NTV, and weekly storytelling concerts in Istanbul and all over Turkey. She is considered to have triggered the storytelling revival in Turkey where she trained hundreds of storytellers over the last ten years. Her first book "Tale Therapy" was an overnight bestseller. Her new book came out in october this year. Judith believes storytelling is the magic that weaves community, and uses every opportunity to invite people to dream together.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
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.
