The project “Hexenküche – Formerly Known As” is a multi-part intervention in public space that undertakes a feminist re-coding of the historical memory of the figure of the witch and the witch hunts in Europe. Central to this project is the symbolic renaming of the location formerly known as the Hexenkuchl (lit. witches kitchen) in the Mühlauer Klamm, where previously stereotypical figures of so-called witches were on display, to Helena Scheuberin Garden – after one of the first women* to be tried for witchcraft in Innsbruck in 1485.

This renaming is accompanied by a hanging garden, sculptural signs, and an herb garden. The elements of this project are located in the Mühlauer Klamm and in Waltherpark in Innsbruck.

The opening is on Thursday, 24.10.2024 at 17.00 in Waltherpark/Innbrücke, Innsbruck.
