“They didn’t burn witches, they burned women” - A visit to the gravesites of the women (and few men) who were unjustly persecuted and executed during the Salem Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts, USA, circa 1692-1693. A mar on American history in the sea of cruel treatment of women that occurred worldwide from the 15th to 18th centuries where the world of patriarchy and misogyny was used to control women, torturing and murdering those who didn’t comply or questioned commonly accepted gender roles. A time that feels we are still recovering from, that we’re still seeking the release from the silent oppression of, that we’re dangerously close to recreating in modern day society.

Let’s not forget where we’ve been so we can better guide next steps of where we want to go!

This black-and-white photograph captures a close-up of an old, worn steamer trunk. The focus is on the sturdy leather handle, which is attached with metal brackets and rivets. The handle shows signs of aging, with cracks and scuffs visible on the surface. The surrounding material of the suitcase is textured leather, also showing wear and tear, including scratches and faded areas.

Below the handle, partially visible, are painted letters that seem to have been worn away over time. The letters "TH" are still somewhat distinguishable, but the rest of the text is heavily faded. The overall composition, with its focus on texture and details, conveys a sense of history and nostalgia. The monochrome color palette emphasizes the aged and rugged nature of the suitcase.
