SUMMARY:#FridayFrontiers: “Trialling Witchcraft: Adapting Public History 
 to New Heritage Settings”
DESCRIPTION:This talk will discuss the ongoing “The Islandmagee Witchcraf
 t 1711 Digital and Creative Project” directed by Dr Andrew Sneddon (Hist
 ory) and Dr Victoria McCollum (Cinematic Arts) of Ulster University (Proje
 ct website: w1711.org). This interdisciplinary project aims to take the l
 ast trial in Ireland under a witch act to new audiences using creative and
  digital technologies by producing: a new graphic novel\; a video game\; a
  bespoke animation\; an interactive website\; a play\; a musical score and
  a Virtual Reality application. The talk will cover the challenges of this
  type of public history that deals with traumatic events in places with co
 ntested pasts\, and how these can be overcome and hidden histories used to
  discuss wider issues of gender violence\, othering\, poverty and exclusio
 n. Finally\, we will cover how we adapted the project to a heritage settin
 g in 2023 for a major exhibition\, “Reimagining the Islandmagee Witches:
  an exhibition”.\n\nAll these webinars are free to attend\, but registra
 tion is essential.
