Description

Mia Kirshner is a Canadian actor and founder of Rosa, a national platform addressing legal rights and protections around workplace harassment. When she told her agent about a meeting that took place in a suite at The Four Seasons hotel in which a director exposed himself she was told, “Oh well.” After disclosing a more serious event involving Harvey Weinstein, she was told to “forget about it.” Well, she didn’t forget about it, and is now a tremendous advocate for industry reform.

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.
