**Icy Sedgwick** – *Rebel Folklore: Empowering Tales of Spirits, Witches and Other Misfits*

In her talk, folklorist Icy Sedgwick introduces eight complicated figures who hold up a mirror to the world that dreamt them up. From tricksters to psychopomps, forest protectors to those who refused to accept the status quo, Icy explores who these figures are, were, and could be, and what we can learn from them here in the 21st century.

Libby Bove is a multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and folklorist. Her work is centred around ideas which reposition folk custom and magical practice back at the forefront of daily life. Drawing on archival methodologies and documentary, her work slips between fact and fiction.
