THE FORGIVENESS PROJECT / PARDONER MOI

An new open-ended project generated with public participation by artist Nadia Myre

In 2005 Nadia Myre began a long-term exploration of how people describe their pain, hurt, healing, and scars with a needle and thread, and paper and pen. What emerged was The Scar Project, a viewer participatory open-lab/installation/exhibition where individuals could sit and ‘sew their wounds’, literal or metaphorical, on one of the canvases provided, and recount whether or not their scars could heal. This work, which consists of over to 500 scarred and sewn canvases and accompanying stories, documents a multitude of voices from all walks of life and age ranges.

With the Forgiveness Project (Pardoner Moi), Myre proposes a new open-ended art project where people anonymously send via email, post or online comment, things (ideas/words) they would like to be forgiven for. To participate simply leave a comment by clicking the add comment link below this page. Your comments can be signed anonymously. When making your comment please start the sentence with the words FORGIVE MY... / PARDONNER...

Please note that texts/words can be sent in anonymously or not. All languages are welcome, however they must accompany translations if they are not in English or French.
