In this workshop, inspired by Dóra Maurer's works, participants explore the creative process from parts to the whole. Designed for young people interested in design, art, and architecture, the workshop invites participants to create a module on paper with paint or in three dimensions using simple objects like toothpicks, handmade paper crafts, or wooden sticks. Throughout the workshop, the modules are repeated in different directions and variations, eventually forming a large whole by the end of the process.

French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
