Safe Space Installation:
I have to keep telling myself this
As a woman, and especially as a queer woman, I have the feeling that I can´t necessanly feel safe. I had to build a safe space to be able to present myself confidently and with pride. I am still in the process of understanding and being able to categorize myself and the world around me.
This safe space installation is based on giving other queer people some of the support I have experienced. But it´s also politically and socially motivated and aims to raise awareness and visibility.
People who experience discrimination know how it feels like to need a safe space.
This is an invitation to be able to relate to this experience or to feel accompanied for a moment in your reality.
