Participants who take a guided tour of On the Spot: A History of Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul navigate through the layers of Istanbul's panoramas and experience a body and movement-focused journey inspired by art. Led by dance and movement therapist Seda Güney, the workshop begins with practice examples and involves participants warming up and moving their bodies. Participants are invited to focus on what they connect with in their inner worlds exploring the interplay and permeability between body, mind, and emotions, and encountering their movements.

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.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
