Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
The workshop starts with a guided tour of Calculations and Coincidences and aims to develop children's fine motor skills while having fun using their imagination. Children create simple patterns on pre-prepared dotted templates with thread and a plastic embroidery needle. Then, they personalise their designs by decorating the shapes created by connecting the dots with various materials such as beads, fabrics, and buttons.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
