The exhibition “My Mislabeled Witch” is currently on display at Daoulas Abbey in Brittany until November 29, according to RFI.
It brings together 350 art and ethnographic objects that tell the complex history of witches, from the 17th-century burnings where accused women were executed, to respected and honored voodoo priestesses.
The exhibition highlights demonology treatises written by misogynistic men, as well as the contemporary feminist reappropriation of the witch’s status.
It also explores folk tales and popular imagination filled with all kinds of witches, reflecting a history marked by beliefs, superstitions, fear, and violence.
