At this workshop, we get together with the children to dig into a star map and unearth the secrets of the stars we see in the night sky, plumb the depths of outer space to explore stars and galaxies. We learn about the sun, the closest one to our Earth, and then, other stars and life phases in the distant depths of the universe. We explore the nebula-supernova black hole forms that occur at the birth and death of super stars. With the help of interactive practices that stimulate imagination, we try to perceive how far stars are from our Earth, examine constellations in 3D. During this workshop, we enhance cognitive, socio-emotional and psychomotor skills through the inquiry-based learning method.

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

We, by which I mean some of my classmates and I, knew about Paula Rego. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t know where Rego was from or even where in Europe Portugal was. I thought she was English. Let me tell you how I first heard the very un-English sounding name “Paula Rego”

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
