The Emergency Was Curiosity is a book report gone wild; an exhibition and event series; a pandemic diary; an ongoing response to Jenny Odell’s book How to Do Nothing. The project invites you to cultivate your attention, to explore your own weird, category-resistant projects, and to treat your curiosity as a matter of urgency—an emergency, even.
