Embracing Curiosity in Everyday Life

R.E.M. puts it best : "Now stand in the place where you work / Now face west / Think about the place where you live / Wonder why you haven't before." Being attentive to the stories around us is central to Choose to be Curious. Graham Coreil-Allen, a social practice artist and self-described "radical pedestrianist" in Baltimore, leads tours that encourage us to dig into the stories of people, structures and history around us. He was an obvious, delicious pairing with Valeria Gelman and her collection of oral histories from legacy businesses in Arlington. A new world view in under 5 minutes!
