Missing Witches is created by Amy Torok and Risa Dickens: old hag solitary witch best friends living, writing, and recording out in the woods on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory, in Quebec, Canada. Missing Witches is an art and activism project and a public research project. We come from a place of longing and of curiosity. We want to learn from artists, poets, academics, activists and magical practitioners who are conjuring better possible worlds.
