Participants who take a guided tour of the exhibition On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History examine panoramas that have been used to document Istanbul's natural and urban elements. In a workshop led by music therapist Danny D. Kora, participants embark on a musical journey towards the polyphonic nature of Istanbul. Drawing inspiration from a composition transcribed by Henri Kowalski for the panoramic display of Istanbul at the 1900 Paris World Fair, participants listen to both the city's sounds and their rhythms, using techniques and tools such as musical instruments, musical communication, and songwriting.
