Participants imagine themselves strolling swiftly along the avenue, translating the details that emerge in their minds into sculptures that also convey movement.

Instructor: Giz’li Atölye Kolektifi
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL  

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
