  • January 30, 2025 / 16:00

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.

Midnight Horror Stories: The Last Ferry
Galip Dursun

I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.

From Cypresses to Turkish Landscapes

From Cypresses to Turkish Landscapes

Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
