🌘Who were the so-called “witches,” and why were thousands of them persecuted and killed during the witch hunts of the 15th–17th centuries? What did “witchcraft” really mean, and how is it connected to control over women’s bodies and autonomy?
🌗At this event, we are gathering for a collective discussion based on an excerpt from Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici. Together, we will explore how the history of witch hunts intertwines with the rise of capitalism, the policing of reproduction, and the roots of modern feminism.
