THE CONFESSIONS PROJECT

WRITE WHAT YOU CAN'T SAY.

A participatory public art project collecting anonymous confessions through installations, storytelling, and live experiences across Chicago.

WHAT IS IT?

The Confessions Project is an ongoing WRATH + LOVE participatory art project inviting strangers to anonymously share what they can't say out loud.

Confessions are collected through public installations and transformed into a growing archive, digital storytelling, artwork, and live experiences.

No names. No judgment. Just what you couldn't say.
