Chasing Spirits, Ghosts, and Witches

A research and film program tracing spirits, ghosts, and witches as cultural and political figures.

About the project

Hauntings is an artistic research program about histories, defeats, technologies, and political shocks that keep returning as stories, images, myths, and ghosts.

Its four chapters ask how these traces can be studied materially rather than treated as nostalgia, and how a different future might be imagined from within the present.
