MICA

Tell me a secret

at Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, Leeds 

from Sunday 3rd August (for about a month)

The second MICA Community Art Project goes live on 3rd August at Seven Arts in Chapel Allerton and this time we are inviting you to "Tell me a secret".  

In todays modern world we share so much of who we’d like people to think we are, but in reality share very little of who we actually are. The incongruence of what we say and who we are can have long reaching consequences on our lives as we hold back the “real me” from the world for fear of what people might say and what they might think.

They say that a problem shared is a problem halved so if the reverse is true then we are doubling our stresses, our anxieties our paranoias every day, again and again. How different would life be if we were to let go of these secrets that we hold so close, if only for a moment? When we do let go and then look back from a distance is it anything like the secret we thought it was?

Well MICA's second Community Art project invites you to think of a secret in your life. One that is true and one that no one else knows. It might be a fear, a confession, a regret, a betrayal, a desire, a funny and embarrassing tale or anything else you can think of. 

It’s up to you. Just write it down and hang it up.

Shhhhh......there's an "anonymous" box too for you to post in if you're a bit shy.

Or if you can't make it down to Seven Arts or just want to share from a safe distance the can use the comments field below
