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).

Artist Nicola Lorini in Conversation

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
