The Witch Institute virtual symposium brings together artists, scholars, and practitioners to unpack media representations of witchcraft In the last few years, the witch has re-emerged as a powerful political symbol. Across cinemas and television, in books and podcasts, and via hashtag activism, the proliferation of the witch in media signals a critique of the existing world order. From August 16 to 22, 2021, The Witch Institute, a virtual, week-long symposium hosted by the Department of Film and Media at Queen’s University in Katarokwi/Kingston, Ontario, Canada, will provide a collaborative meeting space for those who are interested in responding to contemporary imaginings of the witch in popular and visual culture. It is a place to share diverse understandings of witches and witchcraft, and to complicate, reframe, and remediate media representations that often continue to perpetuate colonial, misogynistic, and Eurocentric stereotypes of the archetypal figure. This expanded conversation among activists, artists, filmmakers, curators, historians, scholars, witches, feminists, healers, and more will help us better understand the meaning and impact of current media representations of the witch.
