As part of the Bosnian Sandzak Cultural Days, Pera Film presents a selection of films by Bosnian director and screenwriter Pjer Žalica titled "Traces of Time." Within the program, Zanin Berbić, a young performer of Bosnian folk music, sevdalinka, and accordion virtuoso Adis Sirbubalo come together with Istanbulites to offer interpretations ranging from sevdalinka to jazz.
The concert, which will take place at Pera Museum Auditorium, is free of charge.
Seating is limited, and no reservations are being taken.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humorous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
