In collaboration with artist Macon Reed and her installation Hammer of Witches, Pears of Anguish in the BRIC Biennial, this is the first workshop in a series that will explore the persecution of witches throughout history and its relation to the rise of capitalism, how we relate to our physical bodies, and collective imagination.

The second workshop with artist Macon Reed looks at how we can work with so-called weeds as allies for our physical, spiritual, and political healing.
