Inspired by the concept of composting that is at the center of the 17th Istanbul Biennial, this workshop will turn our attention to the life below and above the ground as we look into the cycle of energy and nutrition. With the help of materials such as a sponge, felt and opaque watercolors, we reproduce the endless cycle of plants-bacteria-worms and other earth creatures on our drawing paper. Our imaginations are stimulated as we look at nature and all the aspects of it that we are a part of from a different perspective.

Introducing… Turkish coffee!

Introducing… Turkish coffee!

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.

Mosques in the 18th and 19th Century Paintings

Mosques in the 18th and 19th Century Paintings

In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
