"I wanted to send a note to say how thankful I am to the Schizy team and all the performers on Sunday - I laughed, I cried, and I felt the warm hug of humanity by being in a room of people fully expressing all their mad pride truth! What you and the performers do is a real gift to the world"

Mojo Festival and complex trauma.

What is 'complex post trauma stress (c-PTS) aware' art?

People who live with schizophrenia and similar realities like BP(d), OC(d), depression, often experienced some really tough stuff growing up - this is also known as complex-trauma stress (we believe it's not post, but ongoing; and it's not a disorder but a survival system).

Schizy Inc takes care in creating cultural spaces that give people a great time out, as well as supporting new art. We respect the reality of the many memory triggers out there in society. Producers and artists have created work that is culturally safe,  however as is the nature of our lived experience, some works will be preceded with a Content Advice notice.
