India’s Chipko movement (70's)

To call us witches is a political act.

It’s to not forget the history of misogyny, which grew up at the beginnings of Modernity and have been spread with colonization. We are meeting here and there and we start to call ourselves witches, but this time smiling tenderly at each other, not betraying or hurting each other. Now, we gradually take the threads of our ancestors, writing and re-writing us, being part of this red, purple, green, fuchsia thread.

To call us witches is to face the patriarchal violence that has historically and daily traversed us. It’s to take our brooms and sweep away/blur the borders of this repressive system. It’s to wipe out and dismantle a concept of woman that doesn’t belong to us, that was imposed on us.





We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren't able to burn !!
“If you are silent about your pain,
they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it”
