From Experience to Memory by Art Therapy

Pera Adult

  • January 14, 2024 / 14:00

Before the workshop led by clinical psychologist and expressive art therapist Suzi Amado, participants take a guided tour of Souvenirs of the Future, where archival/collection objects are reinterpreted from a future-oriented perspective. In the workshop, participants turn a recent experience - which can be a positive feeling as well as a meaningful human connection - into "memories of the future" through art. In the workshop, which aims to create a safe space for sharing, each participant uses different methods such as collage, writing, poetry and music to design works that will be the mediators of remembering.

Instructor: Suzi Amado
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL
Fee per workshop for students: 100 TL (Participants are requested to show their student IDs at the entrance.)

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

The Horse Figure in Mersad Berber’s Works

Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.

The Chronicle of Sarajevo

Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
