Reflections on Frida Kahlo | Mirrors of the Soul: Cataloguing Frida’s Wardrobe

Join the Mexican Cultural Institute, in partnership with Shakespeare Theatre Company, for a special symposium exploring the life, identity, and artistic legacy of Frida Kahlo.

Minister Marta Turok, our Executive Director, will present Mirrors of the Soul: Cataloguing Frida’s Wardrobe, a visual exploration of Frida’s eclectic clothing, personal style, and the evolution of her identity. The presentation will be followed by a conversation and Q&A moderated by Drew Lichtenberg, Artistic Director of Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Inspired by the questions raised in STC’s production FRIDA … A SELF-PORTRAIT by Vanessa Severo, this program invites us to reflect on how Frida’s self-presentation shaped her identity and blurred the boundaries between life and art.

Time: 10:30 AM–12:00 PM
