Amazing Women Roadshow - a collaboration between CSWG, the Resonate Festival and Coventry City of Culture

Stars, Sieves and Women's Stories: an interactive exhibition about early modern fortune telling

Can the magical methods of the past foretell your future?

A fun, interactive exhibition that explores methods of fortune telling in early modern Britain (c.1500-1800). Forming part of the Resonate Festival鈥檚 roadshow, the exhibition looks at fascinating stories of female magical practitioners, and investigates how accounts of astrologers, witches, cunning-folk and 鈥榞ypsy鈥� fortune-tellers reflect past ideas about gender roles.

The exhibition covers seventeen fortune-telling methods, including astrology, dice-rolling, palmistry, dream interpretation, unearthing stalks of kale, scrying, conjuration, reading animal bones, and the 鈥榮ieve and shears鈥�.

If you want to know the prospects for your health, career, romantic life or anything else, we (may) have the answers!

There is also a 鈥榗hoose your own adventure鈥� experience that allows visitors to use the interactive stations to develop the story of an early modern woman.
