In this workshop, the participants get to know the practices and stories of people in different geographies, who try to understand the world through the actions of measuring and weighing, by visiting The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guided tour. Examining interesting objects that have traveled more than humans from Mesopotamia in the second millennium BC to the present, the participants design ornaments based on stone weights in the form of sleeping ducks, which people used to wear around their necks as amulets in the past.
Capacity: 15 people
Fee per workshop: 150 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

We, by which I mean some of my classmates and I, knew about Paula Rego. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t know where Rego was from or even where in Europe Portugal was. I thought she was English. Let me tell you how I first heard the very un-English sounding name “Paula Rego”
While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
