Participants take a guided tour of PƎRⱯ Reverse and are inspired by the installation guzmania2103 in the Globals section of the exhibition, which uses the guzmania plant as a symbol of local-global dichotomies. The participants reinterpret the plant forms that they often encounter in everyday life in the city with a different eye and transfer their drawings onto biscuit ceramic plates. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.
Note: Participants can pick up their ceramics, which will be sent for firing, from the museum within the time and date intervals to be shared with them.

With the Topkapı Palace, the center of political authority until the 19th century, and many other examples of classical Ottoman and Byzantine architecture included in its premise the Historical Peninsula is the heart of the Empire.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
