I was nervous as a first time curator about the way everything would come together. Not just if everyone would agree to participate or if we would be able to meet all the deadlines. I was concerned with viewers making the same connections that I have made, or alternatively, have I simplified an idea so much that I am beating a dead horse? Although even that might work well with this theme.
