Focusing on the values that cities carry from the past to the present, the workshop reinterprets Istanbul through the elements that constitute urban culture and identity. In three sessions with different participants, the workshop concludes with the creation of a collective narrative of Istanbul using fabric and tulle. This narrative becomes part of the interactive structure of the PƎRⱯ Reverse, inviting visitors to engage with the artworks and the process-oriented approach. The installation, growing with each workshop, is displayed on the wall of the Pera Learning workshop throughout the exhibition.

Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

The Horse Figure in Mersad Berber’s Works

Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.

Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
