ChillSpace

We’ll be running a zone called chillspace in collaboration with headspace Adelaide. chillspace will be a quiet space that aims to be safe and inclusive for all to take a moment’s break from the rest of the Festival. This space will offer a few quiet activities, such as reading manga and plenty of room to rest and focus on relaxing.
