The exhibition Häxor created at Kalmar Castle is an experience for all senses in an area of about 700 square meters. The interactive elements are many and shape a playful visual and tactile experience that leads the way into a deeper knowledge quest. AI technology fills the gap of lacking historical material and digitally created portraits depict some 300 women murdered during brutal historical events. A 17th century village with coal black cabins in austere design, gives space to darkness and material minimalism. The textual content presents the subject in detail as well as in a wider context.
The exhibition will go on tour to other destinations and part of it will connect to the local history of each place. Future hosts are Historiska Museet and Örebro slott.
"Visitors to 'Häxor' can expect an attractive, exciting, thought-provoking and educational exhibition that raises many questions. (...) There are no rights and wrongs here, but plenty of room for interesting discussions. In this way, Kalmar Castle has undoubtedly hit the mark. It is always most interesting when you dare to think outside the box." Frida Lundström, Barometern.
“I like that through this exhibition you can link history to today and gain perspective. (...) If you were alive at that time, would you have said ‘stop, this is madness’, or would you have remained silent? And how do you react today to what you think is wrong? Meg Nömgård Head of Kalmar castle, Dagens Nyheter.
"Stylish and sensitive, like stepping into a film." Mattias Berg, P1 Kultur, Swedish Radio.
