The inspiration for this workshop is the project of the artistic duo Irwan Ahmett & Tita Salina that is being exhibited at the 17th Istanbul Biennial, which extends to the northern shores of Indonesia, in between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. We are conjuring up in our minds the creatures living in the oceans that occupy 70 percent of our planet, waters that are dark due to the vastness of their depths. We set out in this workshop to discover the many colorful creatures living in the oceans of our imagination, using flashlights we make out of carton. We use our creativity and our imagination as we think about our environment, the marine ecosystem, how to prevent pollution of the seas and the oceans, and about the non-human creatures that live in these waters.

Reminiscences of Motifs

Reminiscences of Motifs

As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations? 

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
