Participants who visit PƎRⱯ Reverse are inspired by the work of Contact Zines, where each artist in the exhibition makes three-minute exploratory tours around Istanbul, taking notes and turning them into a collective sharing medium. Personal memory notebooks are designed in the workshop, which reflects on the relationship between collective memory and space. The notebooks designed by the participants in this workshop, where the places visited in the city are brought together with the tools of emotion and remembrance, continue to be shaped by the memories of each place visited after the workshop. 

Instructor: Damla Yalçın
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL 

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