Emma Buswell. 'WITCH KIT: DIY Devices to assist young teen witches (I Asked the Cosmos for Advice and it Told me to Concentrate and Ask Again)' (detail), 2017, Textiles, yarn, fake gemstones, found objects, and acrylic. Photo by Jess Boyce.
Light as a Feather… is an exploration of the continuing cultural influence of the teen witch. In the wake of a shifting global political climate, magic manifests as a pop cultural symbol for empowerment and positivism.

The exhibition is comprised of a series of performative rituals and installations; a collaborative network of artistic practices, harnessing witchcraft and magic in its many forms. Bringing together the work of established and emerging artists, conjuring quasi-rituals and pseudo-scientific experiments to call upon the witch’s enduring feminist strength and the role of superstition and talismans in our prevailing mood of uncertainty.

Featuring the work of Soda_Jerk, Oliver Hull & Celeste Njoo, Lyndon Blue, Jack Caddy, Emma Buswell, Grace Connors, Sabina Maselli, and Eliza Gauger.
