The Figure of the Witch

The Figure of the Witch

In the form of an e-residency, Sara Létourneau explores with Geneviève Thauvette a historical imaginary: *Witch or magician? Malevolent or benevolent? Damned or adored?** **The witch remains a central figure in the social imagination, whose identity, faces, and symbolism are endlessly interpreted.** **The witch was condemned for many years, particularly during the Middle Ages. Today, the figure of the witch dons her finest attire and becomes a feminist icon, a powerful symbol of the independent and free woman.*
