The Three Witches of Surrealism: Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, & Kati Horna

In this episode of More Than a Muse, hosts Sadie and Stauney dive into the enduring allure of witches—both historical and modern. From Sadie’s recent trip to Salem and reflections on the infamous witch trials to conversations about how social media fuels today’s digital witch hunts, they explore the intersection of outrage, activism, and empowerment. The discussion also highlights the Three Witches of Surrealism—Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Kati Horna—three visionary artists who fled war-torn Europe for Mexico and found creative freedom through mysticism and sisterhood. Together, they trace how the witch has transformed from a symbol of persecution into one of power, rebellion, and artistic magic.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
