We are happy to announce that following on from ‘โลก(ไร้ )รู ป (Im)material worlds’ last year, reflections on learnings from the programme have been published in MIRAJ: Moving Image Review & Art Journal. In memory of Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa (1976 – 2023).
Organised by Graiwoot Chulphongsathorn (Chulalongkorn University), Philippa Lovatt (University of St Andrews), LUX Scotland and CAMPLE LINE, funded by the British Council, ‘โลก(ไร้ )รู ป (Im)material worlds’ was an artists’ moving image programme that gave focus to the environmental crisis from Global South and postcolonial perspectives. It brought together recent and new moving image work by four Southeast Asian and four UK-based artists and filmmakers, who use experimental and essayistic forms to explore communities, habitats and places through their colonial, political, military and environmental histories. The programme unfolded over eight weeks with paired online screenings and hosted dialogue with the filmmakers each fortnight, and included artists Alia Syed, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Emilia Beatriz, Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa, Maeve Brennan, Nguyễn Trinh Thi, Prapat Jiwarangsan and Shireen Seno.

Part of (Im)material worlds
'(Im)material worlds: tracing creative practice, histories and environmental contexts in artists’ moving image from Southeast Asia and the UK' was an artists’ moving image programme focusing on the environmental crisis from Global South and postcolonial perspectives, organised by Graiwoot Chulphongsathorn (Chulalongkorn University), Philippa Lovatt (University of St Andrews), LUX Scotland and CAMPLE LINE, funded by the British Council.
(Im)material worlds was an artists’ moving image programme that focused on the environmental crisis from Global South and postcolonial perspectives. It brought together recent and new moving image work by four Southeast Asian and four UK-based artists and filmmakers, who use experimental and essayistic forms to explore communities, habitats and places through their colonial, political, military and environmental histories. The programme unfolded over eight weeks with a new paired online screening and hosted dialogue with the filmmakers each fortnight.
The programme was funded by the British Council’s ‘Connections Through Culture UK-Southeast Asia Grant.’ The programme stemmed from the publication of the Screen dossier ‘Tracing the Anthropocene in Southeast Asian film and artists’ moving image’ – a collection of essays co-edited by Graiwoot and Philippa that addresses the environmental crisis from the perspective of Southeast Asia.
