The symbols on tiles convey specific meanings. Why do geometric patterns stand out in these colorful motifs? Children explore the Souvenirs of the Future exhibition with a guide and reproduce the motifs on ceramic tiles with a playful approach. In the workshop led by ceramic artist Lütfullah Genç, children use acrylic paint on square canvases, breaking the geometric structure of the motifs based on the tiles to create playful designs.
Instructor: Lütfullah Genç

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
