“As a creator, curiosity makes my stories a lot stronger… Because curiosity allows us to connect with the people that we serve, it makes our work much more meaninful.” - Katherine Nagasawa

We’re reflecting on a GREAT event last month with multimedia journalist/documentary filmmaker Katherine Nagasawa! (And do spaces get much cooler than Threadless?! We saw your photos of those elaborately-painted bathroom floors!)

In her presentation, Katherine talked about her work at WBEZ’s Curious City, and how Curious City’s curiosity-driven model gives the public a voice in their journalism. She discussed how embracing curiosity has strengthened her work, and the incredible benefits that harnessing the power of curiosity can bring to your own work. Check out more highlights attendees shared from the morning below!
