UN/SAID is the title for the open-ended collaboration between two strangers, John Dougan Nealon and Stefano Romano that took place at Bulevard Art and Media Institute in Tirana, from Monday, 28th April, through Frida,y 2nd May 2025. Ahead of this meeting, the artists’ chose to use the term uncertainty as their launch point. From this, they have begun to realise a point of invitation that will ask outside participants to anonymously share the things that they hold within – their secrets. Romano and Nealon used the short time afforded to them to develop a framework and context for this invitation. The process was concluded with a public performance on Saturday, 3rd May 2025, at the venue.
This is an Invitation to be part of this participative project: Share Your Secret
Write down a secret that you have never shared
(In your own language, and do not include any personal information, including the names of others.)
