MDAG SAFE SPACE
A safe space to talk about mental health, sexuality and identity
Screen 6 - at this address in the very heart of the festival, the Warsaw Kinoteka (except for one event which will take place in the upper foyer of the Studio Theatre), for the first time in the history of MDAG, a magical zone of freedom will be created - Safe Space.
MDAG Safe Space will serve as a safe haven for fun as well as serious discussions, workshops and meetings on all the phenomena that shape our inner self. We invite you to a unique zone where every person will be able to speak out and be sure that they will be heard. This is a zone free of judgement and prejudice.
Thanks to the partnership with Wellbee, you will also find psychologists in the Safe Space. You will be able to talk to them as part of a therapeutic consultation or simply ask any questions or discuss emotions and experiences related to film screenings. If during the screenings something moves you or brings back memories from your own life, feel free to talk about it and find out what next steps are worth taking!
Events within the zone are open and free of charge.
As part of the consultations, at the Safe Space you will be able to meet:
