Frida Kahlo's identity, seen through her art and life,
resonates powerfully throughout contemporary culture.
She has become an icon for many, as one of the few widely
recognised female artists and as an image of Mexico. Kahlo
has had an impact across fine art, design, film, fashion
and cultural theory. This symposium brings together artists,
historians and curators from Europe, Mexico and the USA
to look at the genealogy and nature of the Kahlo phenomenon.
Speakers include Dawn Ades, Gannit
Ankori, Oriana Baddeley, Whitney
Chadwick, Caroline Evans, Luis-Martin
Lozano,Carlos Monsiváis and
Laura Mulvey.
