“ What does a ‘safe space’ mean to you? To multidisciplinary artist Johanna Tagada, it is the embodiment of intimacy passed back and forth in meaningful conversation with a like-minded person. It’s a whispered confession, or a common concern; it’s temporal and spatial; at once ephemeral and everlasting.”
