The Painting of Walls

November 12, 2024 | Tuesday, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

How can we paint a city from different perspectives? What do we encounter on street walls?

The program invites children to explore how artists from the past to the present have depicted the places they have lived or visited. In the workshop, children watch a short presentation about artists inspired by urban streets. After interpreting the artworks in the museum's collection exhibition, the children create collage paintings that evoke city walls by crumpling, tearing, and folding paper, inspired by contemporary art practices.

Istanbul Modern awards a Participation Certificate to children who participate in at least five of the ten different workshops!
