Preview: Witch @ Washington Arts Centre

The Sunderland Indie is an art collective that celebrates grassroots art in the region. Pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers, The Sunderland Indie showcases experimental local art and offers a place for creative artists to promote their work. Having held exhibitions in venues such as Mackies Corner, Sunderland Minster and Washington Old Hall in the past, they are currently residents at the exhibition space in Washington Arts Centre with their latest project entitled Witch. 

Witch displays work across multiple different disciples from 14 different artists and explores the topic of witchcraft through history, via painting, photography, sculpture, poetry and more. The exhibition looks at the myth and lore around the centuries-old concept of witchcraft and magic through the ages to the present day as well as the role that gender and misogyny has played as well as the consequences this continues to have in today’s society. 

The creative and thought-provoking Witch is installed at Washington Arts Centre until 1st November.
