Wytches II

An exploration of the Witch, before the systematic dissolution of her relationship with nature, by way of the moonlight. 

WYTCHES II explores the captivating world of full moon rituals and familiars, spells and incantations. It challenges the patriarchal-imposed misconception of witches and their inherent connection to the Earth. We will dig into the enchantment of moonlight and the rhythms of nature to look at the intuitive, connected beings who have been unjustly stigmatized throughout history.

Founded in 2021 on the California coast, Dorado 806 Projects is an artist-funded, arts and culture platform with a fluid, place-responsive practice. While rooted in Southern California, on Tongva unceded land, our practice remains nomadic—drifting toward new voices, places, and possibilities. Our studio gallery serves as both a creative hub and launch point for exhibits, performances, installations, and workshops. We focus on themes of introspection, human relationship with the natural world, transcendentalism, inclusion, listening, and self-actualization through humor and play.
