Can different shades or contrasting colors used in a work convey different meanings and emotions? The workshop revolves around color themes and palettes that achieve a coherent look by bringing various colors together within a certain harmony. Inspired by PƎRⱯ Reverse, which transforms the given and opens up space for the speculative, the workshop invites a rediscovery of color palettes' creative uses, stepping outside traditional conventions. Participants use creative painting-collage techniques using color palettes derived from the dominant color textures of Pera Museum.
