Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Throughout history, weights used in Anatolia for everyday purposes and shopping have reflected the symbols of the time. What would a weight look like if you were to design one now?
Accompanied by a guide, children visit The Art of Weights and Measures and examine the weights used by merchants who lived in Anatolia in the past. Then, inspired by the weights depicting legendary figures, animals and urban stories of the period, children design weights from ceramic clay paste that reflect today's symbols.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
