This workshop, which will be held by artist Güneş Terkol from her atelier where she works with fabrics, proceeds through the concepts of seeing, accepting and learning new experiences and possibilities. Experiencing Paula Rego's works with an online guided tour, the participants learn how both artists use weaving and create their personal compositions on fabric. In the workshop, which aims to create a safe space with the method of storytelling, each participant creates a character and transfers it to the fabric with an expression they choose.

French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.

Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
