Based on the works of Paula Rego in which she tells fairy tales, the Embodied Stories Workshop will be held on March 24. Accompanied by movement therapist Derya Dinç, the participants will explore different ways of discovering and expressing their emotions through art. The participants, who use the “Authentic Movement” technique, which enables the person to realize the sources of the movement coming from within, after transferring their movements on a large piece of paper, they interpret the story consisting of lines, symbols and colors together.

Taking its starting point from the Zamane İstanbuls exhibition, Storytelling: The Whisperers of the City workshop, participants construct the story of a city through various creative writing techniques inspired by the photographs selected from the exhibition. The workshop, led by the author and urban history researcher Ekin Can Göksoy, will take place on March 31.

The Therapeutic Art: Painting with Awareness workshop, which calls to explore the emotions created by thoughts through art therapy practices, will start on April 7 with a guided tour of the Rego exhibition.
