Pera Museum Learning Programs organizes photography-themed artist workshops for adults within the scope of Isabel Muñoz: A New Story and Istanbuls Today exhibitions from August 19 to September 17, 2023.

Workshops are open to everyone aged 18 and over; focus on black-and-white photography, street and architectural photography, visualization of the sounds of the city through photography, cyanotype printing, portrait photography, and creating a personal point of view in photography.

Isabel Muñoz: A New Story

Nudes With Mirrors

Nudes With Mirrors

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet. 

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
