How do you think you would feel about reading words randomly brought together? Dadaists had the goal of subverting traditional values and creating a brand-new approach to art. In this word-play workshop, we first choose an object from our backpack, and then we use the first letter of the object’s name to create a new word. We’lldivide into groups and quickly say the very first word that comes to mind. The last person in the group says their word out loud and will make a special noise to alert others that the game is finished. Through this workshop, we learn about Dadaist word games, improve our Turkish language skills and concentration, and learn how to create new words and keep rhythm.

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.
Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
