You can ask your children which work impressed them most, get them to interpret the works using their imagination, and ask them to share these interpretations.

Social Projects (Complementary Offer)

Istanbul Modern organizes exhibitions and events through a distinctive approach to contemporary museology. While the content produced through these exhibitions and events is shared with audiences of different age groups and social backgrounds, the museum also designs and puts into practice educational programs for social groups with limited access to art, as well as children, young people, and adults with special needs.

Collaborating with educational institutions and organizations that support education and work within this frame, Istanbul Modern offers a sharing platform for its visitors through its specially designed educational programs.

The Color I Touch (Multisensory Experiences)

For Blind and Partially Sighted Children and Young People

Organized for blind and partially sighted children and young people, The Color I Touch includes expert-guided exhibition tours, art workshops, and audio described film screenings.

During the exhibition tours, in which artworks are described to them, the children and young people interpret these works of art. In the workshops, they use diverse materials to develop their manual skills. In drama workshops where they design tales through associations, they develop their imagination, and at audio described screenings of animations they analyze the films they watch.

Istanbul Modern’s educational program The Color I Touch is a free program for blind and partially sighted children and young people and is offered through educational institutions and organizations supporting education.
