I Hope This Message Finds You Well is a podcast on curating hosted by Kris Dittel and Eloise Sweetman. It grew out of our friendship and delight in talking about art, where we, two freelance curators, openly discuss and question what we are doing, why we are doing it, and open up this conversation to our colleagues. In each episode we talk to our guests about their work, professional trajectory, motivation, and reasons to work as a curator or otherwise.
