Embroider the Story
Workshops with Artists

April 14 - May 4, 2023

Pera Museum Learning Programs is organizing two artist workshops, one online and one face-to-face, for adults as part of the Paula Rego: The Story of Stories exhibition between April 14-May 4, 2023.

The program, inspired by the weavings, a medium that Paula Rego frequently uses in her practice, and the artist's weaving work Battle of Alcácer Quibir exhibited in the museum, invites the participants to embroider their stories in the company of Güneş Terkol and Gözde İlkin, artists who use sewing, embroidery and weaving in their production. While the online workshop led by Güneş Terkol invites the participants to be a part of a collective sharing and production process that they will be involved in from their homes, the face-to-face workshop led by Gözde İlkin aims to convey both the contemporary and the elements of memory on fabrics through motifs.

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.
