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.

Midnight Stories: COGITO
Tevfik Uyar

He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
