ARTIST TALKS & STUDIO VISITS
Leilah Weinraub is available for artist talks, lectures, and studio visits at art schools, residencies, film programs, museums, and cultural institutions.
Her talks focus on the practical and creative structures behind filmmaking, performance, and world-building, as well as the role of the artist in developing a personal method — a technique or process that allows an artist to return to the work again and again over time.
Drawing from projects that span documentary film, narrative production, fashion, performance, and installation, the talks combine practical insight with discussion of the artist’s role in shaping cultural worlds.
