Pera Museum Learning Programs organizes online and face-to-face exhibition tours and creative workshops for different age groups with the program titled “Traces and Reflections”, parallel to Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done”, between March 20 and June 20, 2025
Inspired by the exhibition, which presents a portrait of Samih Rifat as a polymath with examples from his observations of cities and people, his unique and interdisciplinary practice, the program offers various explorations on drawing, color, space, and narrative. In both online and face-to-face activities, participants will create creative works based on Rifat's black and white urban and portrait photographs, as well as his sketches, notebooks, and drawings with stain and pattern compositions.
Guided exhibition tours for high school students offer an in-depth examination of Samih Rifat’s understanding of composition and use of color, while in workshops designed for individuals with special needs, participants experience the exhibition under the guidance of an instructor and produce original works inspired by Rifat's artistic world.

"Much Is to Be Done" is an exhibition that departs from the both ethically and aesthetically uncompromising work of Samih Rifat, an important figure in the world of culture renowned for his photographs, translations, documentaries and writings. We could describe his work as “an act of art and thought”, and this exhibition aims to expand his creative process in order to understand this intellectual of “a thousand arts”, who sadly passed away too early.
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.
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.
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.
