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.
