This workshop, led by Furkan Akhan, takes its inspiration from Hera Büyüktaşcıyan's work, *The Mantle of an Ancient River * (2025), featured in her ongoing solo exhibition *Ghost Quartet * at Arter. The workshop aims to visualize the "ghost" traces left by the city on its inhabitants—traces that, though erased, are still felt—using graphic notation. Before the workshop, participants will gather urban sounds they have recorded along their daily routes in a "sound pool." Beginning with a collective listening session, the production phase will transform the intensity, texture, and rhythm of these sounds into lines and stains using various materials such as pencils, charcoal, and brushes. Then, drawing inspiration from the layering and articulations in the artist's work, participants will "x-ray" the sounds using tracing paper and textured papers, employing different collage techniques. These individually produced graphic notations will be juxtaposed at the end of the workshop to create a "City Partition." This partition will transform into an installation representing the city's parts connected by invisible threads.
