Our inspiration is the project by Lamia Joreige, in which the artist combines materials from the archives with elements of fiction to study the relationship between personal and collective memory, merging real history gathered from the archives with an imaginary record. In this workshop, we imagine that we are historians or an artist like Joreige, exploring the archives, and bring together the photographs we find at the archives of the Istanbul Research Institute and the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum Collections with our own drawings and texts, creating our own imaginary heroes who will challenge the epic historical narratives, as we present our own version of history using the technique of collage.

The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
