Heroes and Shadows

March 20 - June 20, 2025

Pera Museum Learning Programs organises online and face-to-face exhibition tours and creative workshops for different age groups with the program titled “Heroes and Shadows”, parallel to Marcel Dzama: Dancing with the Moon, between March 20 and June 20, 2025,

The program includes workshops inspired by Dzama's imaginary characters, mask-filled scenes and multi-layered stories for primary education and high school students, as well as age-specific children's workshops. Participants explore the artist's distinctive style and work on masks, supernatural animals, and fairytale stage designs. High school students can also participate in online and face-to-face exhibition tours.

After a guided tour of the exhibition, participants work on creative works inspired by Dzama's fantastical world in workshops prepared for individuals with special needs.

MARCEL DZAMA
Dancing with the Moon

Pera Museum is pleased to present Marcel Dzama’s first solo exhibition in Turkey, surveying the artist’s unique approach and compelling storytelling. The exhibition curated by Alistair Hicks, emerging from the artist’s colourful imaginative world that is centred on music and dance, is made up of works that address the failures of governance we are currently subjected to, environmental destruction, and the calamities caused by war.

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.
