Witch Hunts Now: A Human Rights Catastrophe in Photographs

Lancaster Arts, in partnership with the International Network Against Witchcraft Accusation and Associated Harmful Practices, presents an outstanding photographic exhibition of international prize-winning photography that makes visible the human rights abuses linked to accusations of witchcraft.  

​​​Over the last few decades, more than 20,000 people ar​​​​​​ound the world have been the victims of accusations of witchcraft and ritual attacks.  ​​In 2021, UN resolution 47/8 set out to address this global challenge.  ​​ 

​​Photographers include Adam Browne, Joshua Hutchinson, Norman Miller, Paul Wolffram and Joe Wood who capture the hopes and challenges of lives impacted by accusations of witchcraft, from Papua New Guinea to Nepal to Ghana.​  ​​​Resonating with Lancaster’s own history of witch trials, Lancaster Arts are proud to launch this important exhibition in the Peter Scott Gallery before it travels globally.​​
