Description

James Safechuck is professional choreographer and performer and one of several complainants to allege molestation by Michael Jackson. He was profiled extensively in the documentary Leaving Neverland, and interviewed and supported by Oprah Winfrey. Safechuck’s suit against the Jackson estate was dismissed for missing the allowable term under the statutes of limitations, but not for lack of merit.

Headdresses and crowns deify Kate Kelton’s subjects. She uplifts the Unsung Sheroes & Heroes, Patriarchy Smashers, Warrior Survivors, Silence Breakers, Philosophers, Truth-Tellers, Whistle Blowers and Thought Giants. She paints portraits cloaked in the garb of statues Ladislav Šaloun sculpted onto the train station that her great-grandfather, Josef Fanta, designed for Prague in 1901 – 1909.
Apotheosis through a reclaimed, reapplied Art Nouveau.
