Dancing Robots

Pera Kids
Ages 9-11

  • March 13, 2022 / 13:30

At the workshop to take place during Science and Technology Week, we’ll be chatting about examples in art in which technology is used and then we’ll meet the musician Yuri Suziki, who has formed an orchestra. We’ll design a dancing robot using various materials and then learn about the relationship between the operational speed of a simple motor in an electric circuit and the energy source. We’ll also learn how engineering skills are used in daily life, scientific research and how they’re used in art.

Game of Mangala

Game of Mangala

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
