An educational programme inspired by the Narrative 4 methodology and connected with Orhan Pamuk’s exhibition The Consolation of Objects.
How much does a narrative need an illustration or an image need a story? At DOX we believe that a gallery like this and the exhibitions within it are like a big box full of stories, and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational materials from the ambiguous yet poetic works of Orhan Pamuk.
Just as a hidden story lies behind every picture, the right picture can illuminate (illustrate) a narrative. And it is narrative and illustration that are the fundamental elements of this programme in which participants, through the mutual sharing of stories inspired by the Narrative 4 methodology, develop empathy, imagination, fantasy, and the ability to express themselves and illustrate. Discover the artist in you – come tell, create, narrate.
