PROTEST FOR WITCHES

Performance

Horb am Neckar, Germany, 2024

In recent years, the accusation of African children and women being accused of being witches and their persecution has caused worldwide concern. The existence of witch camps in Africa reveals deep-rooted superstition and social inequalities, as well as ritualised violence against children. Ezgi Böttger's black-robed protest is directed against this injustice and calls for an end to witchcraft accusations and the return of the women concerned to their families.
