Children on a guided tour of Calculations and Coincidences are inspired by the geometric arrangements, calculated sequences and colors they encounter in the works in the exhibition. Children, who have learned the handicraft of filography, which is usually created by hammering nails into wood and passing threads or wires of various colors between them, reinterpret this art on an inclined surface. The children randomly drive nails into Styrofoam balls or, according to a particular pattern, weave nets with colorful threads between these nails and create colorful abstract and figurative designs.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
