The workshop draws inspiration from Beyoğlu, historically known as Pera, which means "opposite shore" or "beyond" in Greek, due to its location directly across from the historical peninsula. All elements of Beyoğlu that have embedded themselves in the urban memory and our personal recollections, such as streets, parks, buildings, and neighborhoods, are reinterpreted using maps, fabrics, threads, and paints. Participants create Beyoğlu memory maps and have the opportunity to reflect on the similarities and differences among the various maps that emerge.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
