16th century Lancashire was a wild and lawless region. It was here that 10 people were found guilty of witchcraft. Mostly women, mostly poor, disabled, disfigured, superstitious and uneducated. They were easy targets for a show of power from the authorities; collateral damage for careerists and social climbers. In All Us Witches, the witches push back.
All Us Witches uses art, photography, poetry and prose to explore the lives of the Lancashire witches in the context of the social injustices that continue to permeate through our society today: the obscene wealth and privileges of the few, the everyday struggles of the masses, and the continued persecution of the most vulnerable.
