The workshop is led by Silva Bingaz, who contributed to Istanbuls Today with The Transformative Soul Deep Within and interprets the basis of photography as a rapprochement. The workshop will explore the common points of the photographic journey of artists such as Christer Strömholm, Ed van der Elsken, Francesca Woodman, Hellen van Meene, Sarah Moon and Véronique Bourgoin and the routes they follow, aiming to develop a subjective perspective in photography.
The workshop will take place on different dates as two interconnected sessions.
Session 1 (September 15, 19:00): Silva Bingaz talks about the photographers with whom she has shared a memory and the school of thought that shaped her photography through her dialogues with the artists and selected photographs.
Session 2 (September 17, 14:00):Participants will discuss the photographs they have taken or liked, which they will either send to ogrenme@peramuzesi.org.tr before the workshop or bring.
Capacity: 20 people
Duration: 120 minutes (each session)
Fee for the two-day workshop program: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About Silva Bingaz
Silva Bingaz (b. Malatya), a photographer of Turkish and Armenian origins, lives and works in Istanbul. In her works, she attempts to reveal the human soul in the simplest way possible by focusing on its created values and efforts to protect itself from the hierarchy imposed by authority. Her images of urban landscapes and portraits of individuals allude to birth and death, masculinity and strength, and love and the unknown, all while searching to lift the veil on a city, beyond the specifics of time and place.
Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
“A nameless Egyptian fresco, an African idol or a vase from Crete: we should behold Pirosmani’s art among them. Only this way it is possible to conceive it genuinely … …You see Pirosmani – you believe in Georgia”.
