About this artwork
This work is a satirical response to the culture of “safe spaces” that has taken over many of the wests key educational institutions. Safe spaces may at first seem like harmless demands by young “Social Justice Warrior” types to protect transgender students from those who would question their life choices. Perhaps safe spaces may even seem reasonable when seen in the context of creating a space for open dialog about challenging new ideas and cultural…
changes in politics. But, it has come to my attention that the culture of safe space is increasingly used as an argument and means to de-platform visiting speakers to universities which some student unions deem unacceptable. Their fore “safe space” is in direct conflict with the concept of freedom of speech in our culture. Freedom of speech being the most important concept for the arts in a truly free society makes this issue of key importance at this cultural nexus we are navigating.
