as an act of resistance against patriarchy and capitalism ?
zine, essay
“The figure of the witch has come to embody resistance and the struggle against its own oppressive structures. As a representative of a deep commitment to nature, the witch transcends the hierarchical dualism between human and nature, and focuses on the fundamental connection between the two. Witches are also distinguished by their attention to the interconnected relationships between all beings. Their gaze transcends the artificial boundaries imposed by hierarchies of power, emphasising empathy and solidarity between individuals. This aspect reflects the thinking of ecofeminist activists who strive to understand and solve the complex problems linked to both women and nature.”
