Dr. Zavala, curator of the exhibition Frida Kahlo: Art Garden Life (New York Botanical Garden 2015), will explore Frida Kahlo’s creativity in the context of the cultural renaissance that followed the Mexican Revolution. Her lecture will offer a close examination of several of the artist’s most important paintings and will also consider how Kahlo’s self-adornment and the creative arrangement of her home and garden were equally important modes of creative expression. In addition, Zavala’s presentation will touch upon the ways that other artists, ranging from Diego Rivera to photographers like Nickolas Muray, collaborated with Kahlo to facilitate the promotion of her art, her cultural politics, and her image. Admission includes access to a LIVE Q&A/discussion with Adriana Zavala on Zoom immediately following the lecture.
