SAFE ENOUGH TO CREATE

SAFE ENOUGH TO CREATE is an intimate ADE forum bringing together artists, researchers, cultural practitioners and community builders to explore the relationship between safety, belonging and creative freedom. Through two connected conversations, we move from the individual experience of safety and belonging to the communities, spaces and systems that shape creative culture.
