Workshop activities draw inspiration from the exhibition Kundura’s Memory: The World in a Factory and the Kundura Memory Archive.

We invite everyone to experience different themes and concepts in the interdisciplinary field within the multi-layered structure of Kundura Memory and to participate in workshop activities prepared with original content. By focusing on production and creativity, we aim to sustain this dialogue among participants from all walks of life.

From amateur archiving to analog photography and film, or leather workshops… Learning at Beykoz Kundura is not limited only to children.
In the archiving workshop, with the experience and knowledge of Kundura Memory, you can go through a real archive and learn the subtleties of this work, taking the first steps toward building your own archive.

In the analog film and photography workshop, you can get acquainted with the techniques that masters cannot give up, practiced hands-on in the darkroom of Kundura Memory.

Considering that Beykoz Kundura was a leather factory for 200 years, could there be a more ideal place for a workshop where you will learn to process this material and design your own leather goods?
