Apichatpong Weerasethakul Masterclass



In Conversation

  • Apichatpong Weerasethakul
  • Leila Weefur

    Leila Weefur is an artist, writer, and curator based in Oakland and a lecturer in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Through video and installation, their interdisciplinary practice examines the performativity intrinsic to systems of belonging. The work brings together concepts of sensorial memory, abject Blackness, hyper surveillance, and the erotic.

In conversation with Leila Weefur, Apichatpong Weerasethakul addresses his approach to making moving images for both the cinema and installations and alternative screening spaces. The presentation includes a screening of Morakot (Emerald), which is also installed in BAMPFA’s galleries as part of the exhibition Endless Knot: Struggle and Healing in the Buddhist World, and three other works that explore the borders of life, death, memories, and dreams.
