  • March 22, 2024 / 19:00

The workshop focuses on Souvenirs of the Future, in which archive/collection items are reinterpreted from a future-oriented perspective, through an emotional lens. Structured around the concepts of "illusion" and "reality" and specifically held for Art Psychotherapies Week, participants get the chance to discuss emotions that are articulated through the medium of clay. Drawing from their interactions with the art pieces, attendees journey back to a past phase of their lives and revisit their emotions with a heightened sense of awareness.

Instructor: SPD - Deniz Ağbulut, Doç. Dr. Barış Önen Ünsalver
Capacity: 7 people
Duration: 90 minutes

The event is free of charge. Reservation is required. The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

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.
