About the Project
100 CNFSSNS is a brave and compassionate space where Black, Indigenous, and racialized men can witness each other honestly. 100 men will be invited to read out loud another man’s confession in a brave and compassionate space.
A confession is not only an expression of remorse about the past, but it is also a hope for the future. This project is about taking accountability through storytelling. We hope that through open and truthful disclosure we can come closer to terms with some of our beliefs and behaviours that may have caused ourselves and others harm.
