On Friday April 25th 2025 Lili Spragg Staged Her Third Exhibition of Anonymised Journal Entries She Received From Many of Her Instagram Followers Who Responded To Her Online Expression of Feeling Upset After Moving To London From Australia And Finding Herself Down And Lonely After A Bad Experience With A Fellow Student (Who Reportedly Had His Own Mental Health Issues And Was Very Negative).
The Response She Received Was Phenomenal. People Shared Similar Feelings of Being Down As Well As Offering Their Support. Some Communicated Through DM (Direct Messaging) Some Even Sent Handwritten Heartfelt Letters And Journal Entries To A Specially Designated Postal Address.
Lili Was So Moved That She Curated An Exhibition of Them All. Firstly In Herne Hill, Then Back Home In Sydney Australia (Where She Shared The Experience With Her Family) And Now Most Recently In Brixton.
The Letters And Anonymised Journal Entries Were Laid Out On A Long Table And Held Down With Little Stones And Pebbles, As Well As Being Pinned On Washing Line Style Pieces of String With Clothes Pegs.
Visitors To The Exhibition Were Invited To Read The Items And Share Their Thoughts. There Was Also A Visitor’s Book For Comments. Lili Was In Attendance All Night Greeting And Speaking With Guests. Friends, Colleagues, Associates, Fellow Students, Neighbours, Locals And Other Members of The Public Who Turned Up To See The Presentation. Even A Very Special Four Legged Friend Pop-In.
Some of The Submissions Were Heartbreakingly Full of Despair, Self-Loathing And Low Self-Esteem. And Yet At The Same Time Whilst That Was True It Is Also True That Within That Mix of Agony Some Managed To Encourage Others To Be More Positive.
We Read One In Particular Which Was So Full of The Author’s Disregard And Negativity For Themselves It Was Actually Shocking To Know Someone Could Feel That Low And Write Such Things About Their Own Being.
That Will Stay With Us Because It Made Us Realise That Positivity Is Precious. It Is Not To Be Taken For Granted. Because Not Everybody Has It.
Indeed Because of The Raw, Personal And Upsetting Nature of So Many of The Exhibits Lili Issued A Notice Warning That Some People May Find Some of The Content Upsetting.
We Spoke To Her About It And Her Own Experiences Which Were The Catalyst To This Groundbreaking Mental Health And Wellbeing Project.

Taking A Big Risk. Putting Scary Aside. Living A Life Worthy of Real Lived Experiences. “Nowadays Everything Works Online. Alot of The Way Things Work & Get Promoted & Get Talked About Is On Social Media.”
Now It’s At The Point Where I Don’t Even Think About What Anyone Else Has To Say Because As Long As I Believe It, Then I Don’t Have To Worry About What Anyone Else Thinks Because It Will Find The Right Audience.

I’m Asking Those Who Feel Ready To Share.
And The People Who Do,Do.
