Description

Paz De La Huerta is an American actor and one of over 80 women to accuse Harvey Weinstein of harassment and assault. She is one of a few women who suffered multiple assaults and yet her testimony was not used in convicting him. The decision of the NY District Attorney’s office to not prosecute Weinstein for De La Huerta’s attacks is another example of how prosecutors frequently choose not to advance cases that run any risk of negatively impacting their win/loss record.

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.
