The emotions evoked by the impressive photographs of stone sculptures from the past taken in Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe and Sayburç find different means of expression through creative dance and bodily movement in the workshop based on the Isabel Muñoz: A New Story exhibition. Guided by the mysterious images of human and animal figures in the exhibition, the children revive the forms of sculptures and figures in their own bodies through dancing.

Instructor: Aslınur Sarıca
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 150 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

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.
