ALL OF THEM WITCHES
Bego Anton
Dates: 5 June - 30 June
Location: Botanic Gardens
Times: Dawn to Dusk
‘All of Them Witches’ is a photographic reconstruction of the witch-hunts in the Basque Country. It is based on images described in the original confessions that women gave under torture to inquisitors.
This work seeks to recast historical narratives. It offers a new perspective that reclaims women’s voices and challenges portrayals shaped by centuries of patriarchal rule.
