Symbols Engraved in Stones

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • August 1, 2023 / 13:30

In this workshop, we are inspired by the T-shaped monoliths from Göbeklitepe and the impressive symbols on them, which are thought to be the oldest obelisks in the world. Transferring the figures they drew on paper by engraving on stones, the children design their sculptures that, when brought together, will form a miniature cult area. 

Capacity: 15 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Chlebowski’s Sultan

Chlebowski’s Sultan

This is one of Stanisław Chlebowski’s larger canvasses dealing with themes other than battles; only Ottoman Life at the Sweet Waters now at the Istanbul Military Museum can compare with it in size.

The Captive Sultan

The Captive Sultan

The war fought by the Greeks to shake off the Turkish yoke was closely observed around Europe and, this being the era of romanticism, the events taking place around Greece between 1821 and 1832 became a symbol for national liberation struggle.

At The Well

At The Well

Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
