These days, when everything is so fast-paced, we all need to stop and look inside and around us. Children born into an almost digital life often quickly forget to do this. This workshop offers tools to remind this both to the participants themselves and their inner child, as well as to the children in their classroom. During the workshop, mindfulness practices, some as short as 30 seconds and some longer, that can be applied to children of different age groups are also discussed. The practices include mindfulness practices embedded in breathing, art, and play.

Instructor: Suzi Amado
Capacity: 20 people
Duration:
90 minutes

The event is free of charge; reservation is required.
The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.

Remembering the Future

Remembering the Future

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
