Inspired by the artist Isabel Muñoz's belief in the power of photography to tell "untold stories", this workshop explores the roots of storytelling as Muñoz herself tampers with the mysteries from and around Göbeklitepe. Participants reflect on different dynamics of writing and storytelling, drawing upon the stories and folktales traditionally told in families and memories from the family's past. They are invited to become the narrators of their own stories, breathing life into their constructed narratives while preserving the essential functions of family stories.
Note: Participants are encouraged to think of a family story they have heard, a fairy tale told in the past, or bring a family heirloom object or an old family photograph to the workshop.
Instructors: Ekin Can Göksoy & Mete Özel

In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
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.
