Exploring
This is a Safe Space facilitates a close exploration of the concepts of ‘safety’ and ‘space’. Raising awareness and sparking introspection in those who are seeking and those who are dismissive of ‘safe spaces,’ opens the door for meaningful exchange.
Deconstructing
Attempts at extreme political correctness often lead to fear and avoidance, ending conversations before they even begin. This is a Safe Space seeks to uncover what is lost when the fear of being offensive trumps the flow of ideas. Encouraging honest and respectful communication can replace resentful feelings toward censorship with greater empathy and understanding.
REDEFINING
The term ‘safe space’ is often thought of as an unrealistic utopia. This is a Safe Space aims to redefine this term. By approaching taboo topics, facilitating difficult dialogue, and using productive discomfort to build empathy, all humans can feel welcome in the space they occupy.
