Using My Hands to Create a Forest

Preschool

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.

Game of Mangala

Game of Mangala

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques. 

At the Order of the Padishah

At the Order of the Padishah

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”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

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.
