Amelia Alberti: “I have a question for both of you. We know that Patti brought subversive or subcultural art into the mainstream, making it widely recognized. Given her involvement in protests like the anti-Vietnam movement, she clearly had a revolutionary spirit. What aspects of her work do you feel are important to continue and preserve in today's culture?”

Kate Storch: “Look, it took me like 8 years to say I'm a curator because I think growing up in New York that s*** just sounds a little uppy, you know, but then I earned it through the work so I'm used to it more. But there are not really many people in the lineage of Patti, and I definitely feel very honored to continue it as the most important thing and what her whole purpose was is who represents the community, who is the most talented in the community and also making sure those people have a place to shine. I think we see it now all the time how some artists (and I respect everybody's hustle), but there are some incredible artists who just deserve amazing opportunities, so I think that's always been my goal and that's why I work with a lot of the same artists because they become family and you believe in what they do.”
