Journey into the fascinating history of witchcraft and its connections to femininity and feminism. Followed by Q&A. The word ‘witch’ - what does it conjure for you? Do you immediately have an image of a hat, broomstick and cat, or an old, warty woman who entraps children in her gingerbread house? Or do you see a young, empowered healer who is targeted simply for being different? Whatever you’re thinking, the unifying feature is probably that the witch is female. But why? How did this stereotype come about? Join Tabitha Stanmore as she explores the evolution of the image of the witch, and asks why witchcraft has become so bound up with femininity. The answer isn’t as simple as you might think: even at the very height of the witch trials in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, witchcraft was never a solely female crime. In this unique talk, we will look at the different kinds of magic that were practised in the past - from diabolical harm to fortune-telling, and summoning fairies to necromancy - and consider the different kinds of people who did it. We’ll pick apart some witchcraft icons - like the pointy hat - and trace their origins. By the end, you will have an idea of how a complex and diverse history of magic became distilled into the monolithic word ‘witch’, and how the witch became a figurehead of feminist movements from around the world.

Explore the origins of goth in punk and why its fashion, music, and ideas still resonate today. Followed by Q&A. What does it mean to dress in black and why has Goth lasted for so long? Is it simply fashion or a way of expressing resistance? Goth grew out of the rebellious spirit of 1970s punk and became a bold subculture known for its monochrome style, romantic influences, and connection to themes of horror. This talk explores how goth fashion and music developed into a powerful way of expressing identity. It looks at how the style signals outsider status, challenges gender norms, and pushes back against mainstream values, drawing on key figures, club cultures, and music from both the past and present.Today, goth is gaining attention again, with new publications and media revisiting its history. But is it really a comeback, or has it always been present? We will explore how nostalgia for the 1980s and today’s social and political climate have shaped goth in the twenty-first century, and why it remains culturally significant.
