Participants apply embroidery techniques such as embroidery punch on a pre-designed pattern, needle felting, appliqué with leather pieces, wood beadwork, and Ghiordes knotting on a pattern composed of visuals from the Isabel Muñoz: A New Story exhibition. While working on their fabrics, participants immerse themselves in the enchanting photographs of Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, and Sayburç, discovering the meanings and contemporary uses of the animal symbols present in the photographs.

Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
