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.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
Constituting the entirety of all the perceived aspects of an object creating their own order, form not only contains visual elements and characteristics, but can also help elucidate concepts.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
