Using My Hands to Create a Forest

Face-to-Face

Did you know that the forests, which are covered with living trees, are home to a vast variety of animals? Are there any similarities between the trees in the forest and us human beings? In this workshop, which focuses on learning about the concepts of ecology, interdependence, and improvement, taking its inspiration from the use of compost, a natural fertilizer, which is being highlighted at the 17th Istanbul Biennial, we convert our drawings into our own unique trees, making use of various colorful paints and patterns. Empathizing with nature and non-human living beings, we activate our imagination as we develop our motor skills.

From two portraits of children…

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.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo

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.
