“Street Secrets” is another project similar to “PostSecrets,” though with a specific focus on sharing secrets within a particular community or neighborhood. Instead of using postcards, Street Secrets involves writing or typing out secrets and then placing them in public spaces for others to discover.
Participants often write their secrets on small slips of paper or cards and leave them in various public areas like street corners, parks, cafes, or community boards. The idea is to create a sense of connection and intimacy within a specific locality by anonymously sharing personal thoughts, fears, hopes, or regrets.
Street Secrets can serve as a way for individuals to unload their burdens or express feelings they might not share openly. It’s an opportunity to create a shared experience among community members and encourage empathy by allowing people to glimpse into the private thoughts of others in their neighborhood.
