  • August 1, 2024 / 16:30

Using the building toy made of colorful wooden blocks with unlimited design possibilities, children design creative characters with the pieces they assemble on top of each other, side by side, and in various ways. In the workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎRⱯ Reverse, working in groups with different toy sets, the children give names and stories to the characters they design collectively. Then, on paper, they depict these characters in a fantastical space that they create by deforming the usual forms we encounter in daily life.

Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

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

Midnight Stories: COGITO
Tevfik Uyar

He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
