Gallery Together & Forest For The Trees presents
“i LiVE: AN EVENING WITH SAFIUCHI & THE HOMIES”
Thursday, February 5th | 5pm - 9pm | Hometeam Gallery — 310 Occidental Ave S, Seattle
Gallery Together and Forest For the Trees invites you to join us during First Thursday Art Walk on February 5th at Hometeam Gallery for “i LiVE: An Evening with Safiuchi & the Homies.”
In architecture, a structure is only as strong as its foundation. In this show, that foundation is the lowercase “i”—often overlooked, but intentional: a symbol of the self before performance, the quiet inner truth that doesn’t need to be bigger to be real.
The “i” serves as a visual anchor for a journey that has navigated site demolition, chaos, and the raw labor of healing: breaking down what no longer holds, and rebuilding from what’s true. Moving between expressive charcoal on raw canvas and conceptual, refractive photography, Safiuchi invites you to look beyond the symmetry of the surface.
This show is an exploration of internal space: a reminder that to stand tall, one must first own their truth. Discover the extraordinary story behind the symbol and witness the clarity that emerges when we finally design for ourselves.
At the center of the evening is Safiuchi, whose live painting brings this philosophy into motion. Her performance is held in space with works by Cristina Martinez, Chloe King, Japhy Witte, and Devin Liston—a collective of artists exploring identity, memory, vulnerability, and imagination through distinct visual languages.
Together, the evening becomes a shared ecosystem: personal yet communal, reflective and alive.

SHOWCASING ARTISTS
-
Safiuchi
Visual Artist
Safiuchi is a Seattle-based abstract expressionist whose work explores identity, memory, and healing through layered brushwork, bold color, and intuitive mark-making. She is a member of Shxwhá:y Village in Chilliwack, BC, and is Tlingit & Haida. Her practice is rooted in lived experience, using painting as a way to process personal history while opening space for broader conversations around humanity and multicultural communities.
A recurring element in her work is the lowercase “i”—a symbol of the self before performance, humility over ego, and the inner truth behind her mantra, i live. Working across paint, charcoal, and mixed media, Safiuchi often reveals subtle figures and faces beneath the surface, inviting viewers to slow down and look closer. She also hosts Beyond the Canvas, a conversation series that amplifies artists and creatives through dialogue on culture, process, and personal truth. -

DJ Famous
Song Selector
DJ Famous is a Seattle based open format DJ whose relationship with music began long before he was old enough to see the dance floor. Raised in the orbit of turntables by a father who was a battle DJ, Famous’s earliest memories are rooted around the studio, vinyl, and the quiet intensity of learning how sound moves people. Hip-Hop is the foundation. His musical home. But his sets stretch fluidly across genres. Guided less by rigid format and more by feeling, momentum, and the room itself.
Known for reading not just the dance floor but the energy of an entire space, DJ Famous approaches each set as a living story. Sometimes explosive, sometimes restrained, always intentional. Drawing influence from Hip-Hop, Dance, and House, his selections prioritize connection, community, and shared release. Whether building tension or letting a moment breathe, DJ Famous plays for the people in front of him, shaping nights that feel alive, responsive, and deeply human.
