# Leila Weefur: *The Chapel of Becoming* Oct 9, 2026 – Jan 9, 2027 · on view, just opened - Sat, Nov 21, 2026: Songs, Sermons & Sacred Voyeurism, in collaboration with Chani Bockwinkel, 8 pm A new video of trans\* community members and hand-imprinted ceramic tiles recording historic religious floor plans, built into a devotional installation. Weefur’s installation treats the trans\* body as a site of devotion, centered on On Devotion, a newly commissioned video gathering trans\* community members, including historian Susan Stryker, around everyday acts framed as spiritual practice. An accompanying archive of ceramic tiles, hand-imprinted with the floor plans of centuries-old religious buildings, lines the space. The work builds on Jack Halberstam’s idea of “trans\* anarchitecture,” linking trans bodies’ remaking of gender to Gordon Matta-Clark’s cutting into buildings. A prototype of the installation was first shown at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as part of Bay Area Now 9.
