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.

About Güneş Terkol
Güneş Terkol (1981 – Ankara) graduated from the Painting Department in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Mimar Sinan University. Afterwards, she received a Master’s degree in the Art and Design Department at Yıldız Technical University. In 2018, she completed her pedagogical formation at Mimar Sinan University. Using fabric, sewing, sound, and drawing the artist deals with issues around gender in her body of work. Believing in the great importance of collective work and coming together with a common goal, the artist has produced collective works in workshops in different countries and cities, departing from participants’ everyday realities and imaginaries as inspiration. Since 2005, the artist has produced works individually, as well as with the art collective Ha Za Vu Zu, and she continues to perform in her music group GuGuOu.

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.
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.
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.
