Is a story shaped by the choices presented to us, or does the storyteller also have a say? Based on Vera Molnár's art practice that integrates algorithms and mathematics, the workshop participants try to construct a story from the cards distributed to them. Participants will try to build their unique stories by making interventions to the cards sorted by chance. Even though the starting point is the same, it is experienced how different subjectivities and the chance factor can take the story to different points.
Note: Participants are kindly requested to send a photograph or drawing they have taken, created, or selected to ogrenme@peramuzesi.org.tr prior to the workshop.

It can be seen how Goya gradually and constantly investigated all the technical possibilities of creative engraving from etching to lithography.
Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
