Home Detective

Pera Kids
Ages 4-6

Today, we are going to discover our homes. Are you ready? Take a marker pen and draw a figure or pattern of your choosing on your palm or a piece of paper. Now, it is time to find an object around the house that most closely resembles this drawing. Or, in other words, it is time for an investigation! Search the house and check every room. Once you find something, make sure to take a picture and share it on social media with the hashtag #PeraLearning

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.

Remembering the Future

Remembering the Future

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
