Frida Kahlo: Dreams, Demons and Devotion

Frida Kahlo’s paintings illustrate the anguish and passion of a fascinating and complicated life. The astonishing works of this Mexican and feminist icon will be looked at through the lens of her ethnicity, disabilities and political activism. In addition, this talk will prepare you well for the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s exhibition Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving, on view from February 8 until May 12.
