Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) remains one of the most compelling and iconic figures in 20th-century art. Her
vivid, emotionally charged paintings explore identity, post-colonialism, gender, class, and cultural heritage,
rooted deeply in Mexican folk traditions and personal experience. Through both her artwork and her
defiant persona, Kahlo has become a symbol of resilience and creative expression.
This Art Talk will delve into the major themes of Kahlo’s work, the influence of her tumultuous personal life
on her art, and her lasting impact on global artistic discourse. Attendees will gain insight into her symbolic
language, her political affiliations, and the ways in which she subverted artistic norms of her time.
