Assemblage: Memories on Canvas

Pera Adult

  • January 19, 2024 / 19:00

In the workshop inspired by the section titled "Memory of Objects" of the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future, objects that have been broken and lost their function over time but contain memories are transformed into works of art. Everyday objects gain a new form by using tile motifs, which are at the center of the exhibition. Participants use old objects as well as materials such as fabric and papier-mâché in the three-dimensional composition they create on canvas.

Note: Participants can bring their objects with a story or broken objects that have lost their function to use in the workshop.

Is Istanbul a single city? Will Istanbul too, be one day one day divided into different sections, and numbered like the arrondisements of Paris? These are tough questions indeed!

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
