Witch Way Now?

Witch Way Now is a month-long interdisciplinary program initiated by Helena Castro at Paradiso, in collaboration with film venue Lab111. The program brought together film screenings, talks, and live events centered on the figure of the witch, examining its evolving meanings across history, media, and cultural contexts.


The visual identity is structured around the circle as a recurring symbol within witchcraft, combined with hand-drawn elements and typography. A color inversion system was developed for selected events, shifting the palette from light to dark while maintaining visual coherence across posters and digital assets.
