How would Vera Molnár’s paintings of intertwined squares and seemingly irregular lines or Gizella Rákóczy's paintings of four-armed spirals changing direction be heard if they were sounds? In the workshop, the participants utilize basic design principles to evaluate visual compositions and then journey into the magical world of sound. In the workshop, where the boundaries between seeing and hearing are blurred by transforming selected works from the exhibition into auditory compositions, objects and sounds from everyday life are used to unleash creativity.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
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.
