AMY KINGSMILL: A podcast by SPILL Festival

A podcast series by SPILL Festival

Amy came to Ipswich to tell us about her performance and research project, Light Source, following a showing of the piece at Colchester Arts Centre and a symposium at the British Library. Light Source highlighted the lost histories of persecuted people, primarily women, and gave voice to the innocents killed in witch trials.

Amy and Robin covered a huge variety of topics including the history of witch trials in East Anglia and beyond, the possibility of reinventing and reclaiming the witch, contemporary instances of persecution, interpretations of eccentricity and the search for justice for those executed.

For more information on Amy’s work, you can visit her website here. A website dedicated to her Light Source project can be found here.
