One World, One Photograph

Pera Kids
Ages 9-10

  • April 24, 2022 / 11:45

We are celebrating “April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day” at our online creative drama workshops through the collaboration of the Pera Museum Learning Programs and the Contemporary Drama Association. Photographs are for safeguarding memories. Memories are perceived differently by those who take the photos and those who look at them. Seeing the world through photographs informs a person and sets up a line of communication with the photo. A photograph forges a bond between life and people–what memory would it choose to frame? Does a text complete a photograph, or vice versa? As you look for answers to the questions that have come up with the invention of the photograph, are you ready to take a journey into the history of the printed media? We design a newspaper page at the end of this workshop. We also not only discuss the invention of the photograph, but also talk about the interaction between photography and the printed media.

Mersad Berber

Mersad Berber

Mersad Berber was born in Bosanski Petrovac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on January 1st. He was the first son of Muhammed Berber and Sadika Berber, a well-known weaver and embroiderer. A year later, the family moved to Banja Luka after the city had suffered damage from the World War II.

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

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.
