Celebrating Women Artists Film Series: The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo

“The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo” explores the 20th-century icon who became an international sensation in the worlds of modern art and radical politics. Through the prism of her life and art, the film explores the ancient culture of Mexico; the Mexican Revolution; the wildfire of communism that burned through Latin America in the 1920s and ’30s; the innovators in painting, photography, filmmaking, writing and poetry that congregated in Mexico City; and the revival of interest in popular culture for which Kahlo has become a symbol. Free to Museum members and visitors with paid admission; reservations required.
