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.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
