❝Curiosity is an opening: it helps us ask questions, destabilise preconceptions, and bring about conditions that encourage joyful reinvention and discovery. When curiosity drives a project, we allow for new ideas to come through in unexpected ways, which in turn help refine and reaffirm our core priorities.❞ — Chanel Kong on "Curiosity"
