Seminar
September 28, 2024 / 10:00
Pera Museum presents the Kütahya Ceramics and Museology Seminar for undergraduate and graduate students, featuring selections from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection. Bringing together museology, art history, and cultural history, this interdisciplinary seminar delves into the ceramics produced in Kütahya, the most significant hub of ceramic production after Iznik during the Ottoman era. The goal of the seminar is to offer a fresh perspective on Kütahya ceramics to young researchers.
The full-day program consists of the seminar and workshop sessions, and the first segment focuses on Kütahya ceramics. This segment explores the artistic evolution of Kütahya ceramics from the 18th century to today, as well as their significance within the Ottoman culture. The second segment of the program involves applied studies. Participants look into a selection of ceramics through case studies and workshops as part of basic museology training. They learn more about the documentation and collection management policies in the context of Kütahya ceramics.
The Kütahya Ceramics and Museology Seminar will be held physically at the Istanbul Research Institute. Program language is Turkish.
Attendance to the program is free; however, students traveling from outside the city must cover their accommodation and transportation expenses.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
