Thresholds Between Spaces: What I See From My Window

Pera Adult

  • August 11, 2024 / 14:30

Can seemingly everyday and ordinary things find different meanings through our experience of them? Does the same landscape look different from “everyone's window”? Based on the conceptual structure of the PƎRⱯ Reverse, which re-functionalizes the existing from a different perspective, the workshop invites us to think about and design windows that contain the opposition of “inside” and “outside”. Starting from the image of the window with its metaphorical meanings both as an architectural hardware element and as a threshold between spaces, the participants paint what they see from outside and inside on the window forms they design using cardboard and tracing paper.

Instructor: Damla Yalçın
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL  

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

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.
