Looking at the Sky from the Sea

School Groups
Primary School

Face-to-Face

Have you ever opened your eyes when you dive underwater? Can you imagine what you will see when you look up at the sky from under the water? Inspired by the Biennial’s efforts to “learn something from the flight of birds, the once-plentiful seas, the chemistry that gradually replenishes and nurtures the earth,” we are imagining in our workshop that we have put on our goggles and dived into the clean waters and then, by using different colors and figures of sea creatures, we transfer the picture that has come alive in our imagination onto a piece of drawing paper. We chat about the ways to reduce pollution in the seas and oceans, stimulating our creativity, and expanding our imagination.

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power. 

Wondrous Cures in Constantinople

Wondrous Cures in Constantinople

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing. 

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
