Istanbuls Today
Workshops with Artists

March 19 - April 28, 2023

Pera Museum Learning Programs organizes artist workshops for adults as part of the Istanbuls Today exhibition from March 19 to April 28, 2023. 

The two-day workshop, led by Ali Taptık and Beste Kopuz, invites participants to think about the ever-changing urban life through archives and memory. The workshop by Ekin Özbiçer and Erdem Varol, whose artworks are included in the exhibition, explores different ways of "seeing" a city together with participants who love to take photos of Istanbul. In two different workshops held by Beste Kopuz and Arek Qadrra, participants are invited to reflect on the sounds of the city with a collective map and to create an alternative Istanbul with the collage technique.

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.
