Today I'm thrilled to be joined by investor, producer, and writer [Christie George](https://www.christiemgeorge.com/?ref=offthegrid.ghost.io). She's here discuss attention as care and her book report project: [The Emergency Was Curiosity](https://lostseason.metalabel.com/emergency?variantId=3&ref=offthegrid.ghost.io).

Together we have a conversation about the role of art in our lives as we explore:

- Why gratitude is fundamental for working artists
- Book reports as attentional structures
- Living archives as artistic practices
- How social media killed Amelia’s journalling practice
- What it means to be in conversation with a work of art
- Turning a book project into a gallery exhibition & event series
- A defense of non-monetized creative projects
- Attention as a collective care practice
- Expanding flow states to include others
- Diversifying the attention discourse

*Enjoy the audio for free through the month of August! After that, it'll be for paid supporters only. And as always, paid subscribers get an exclusive private podcast feed of all bonus episodes.*
