PRAISE AND REVIEWS
VII Foundation
Arturo Soto
Witch Hunt skillfully combines the story’s disparate elements – religion, colonialism, corruption, and underdevelopment – so that a general audience can understand the events and connect with their devastating repercussions.
British Journal of Photography
Witch Hunt is a deep dive into a particular time and place, and on those terms it is fascinating. Its implications also extend much further.
