What would it be like to express thoughts and feelings without limiting them to words? After a guided tour of the works of artist Paula Rego, which draws the audience into the world of emotions, the workshop focuses on discovering the feelings created by thoughts through art therapy practices. In order to be able to express conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings without the need for words, the participants reflect their inner world on canvases with gouache and acrylic paints, and interpret their feelings and thoughts through the resulting shapes and patterns. Participants learn to be the guide of their feelings with practices aiming at emotional healing and creating a space of awareness through visuals, symbols and internal dialogue.

About Hazal Altun
With the help of yoga, meditation, and art therapy methods she practices and teaches, she aims to establish emotional and sensory bonds between art and people, and improve cognitive communication. After graduating from Galatasaray University Department of Communication, she worked on communications, public relations and advertising in creative fields such as art and architecture. She has been working at the Pera Museum since 2017.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
