  • May 19, 2023 / 19:00

Pera Museum Learning Programs celebrates 19 May Youth and Sports Day with a sculpture workshop!

The participants, who visit the Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters exhibition with a guided tour by examining the way the human body is presented in portraits, create original sculptures that reflect the diversity of the body by using clay and wire in the workshop. In the workshop led by sculptor Ferzan Kaan Serdar, participants explore the art of sculpture, which is used in the visual representation of power as well as in the expression of form and movement, and the creative possibilities of this art, based on the relationship between skin and stone throughout human history.

Instructor: Ferzan Kaan Serdar 

Capacity: 15 people

The event is free of charge. Reservation is required.
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

From two portraits of children…

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.

Giorgio de Chirico

Giorgio de Chirico

Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
