We Are Witch quilt

31 July – 2 August  ·  10am – 4pm daily  ·  St. Mary's Church

Free to view at St. Mary’s Church from Thursday evening 30th July through to Sunday 2nd August, 10am - 4pm or when the church is open. The church will be closed to the public on Thursday afternoon while the frame is installed.

The quilt is the current piece of work from We Are Witch, a collaborative project that honours the women killed under the Witchcraft Act in East Anglia. It highlights their persecution, the miscarriage of justice and promises not to forget them. Or the legacy this chapter of history leaves for women.

Far from a historical honouring of an act of long ago, We Are Witch highlights contemporary issues of oppression, freedom of speech and feminism.
