Can a disk rotated in front of a mirror be used to see moving images? Do the lines come alive, or is it an optical illusion? In the workshop based on In Search of Vera Molnár, children are inspired by the motifs and animations in the exhibition and design a phenakistiscope with which they can animate an image of their choice. In the workshop led by animation artist Ferhat Akbaba, children learn the basic principles of animation and have the opportunity to add movement to their different drawings with the fun optical toy they design.
