Some contemporary artists, like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, create films that recall personal memories, as well as important events from the world around them. Explore the exhibition “Apichatpong Weerasethakul: Primitive”— which includes a multi-platform installation of seven videos and related work by the internationally acclaimed filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The show blends the artist’s personal experiences with political stories and folklore of his native Thailand. Families will have the opportunity to record their own cherished memories and stories as they create flipbooks and storyboards to take home!
