FRIDA KAHLO

Marking the 70th anniversary of Frida Kahlo’s passing, this exhibition focuses on the last few years of her life – celebrating the artist’s vulnerability and her resilience in translating a lifetime of chronic pain into her art-making.

The exhibition explores the rarely discussed narrative of Frida Kahlo’s complex medical history and features medical documents, photographs and contemporary artwork. Alongside this unique collection are exclusive interviews with Cristina Kahlo Alcalá—the great niece of Frida Kahlo—and interviews with present-day medical professionals, who offer a contemporary diagnosis of Frida’s health and chronic conditions. Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World focuses on the physical challenges of Frida Kahlo’s life that she fought through in order to become the cultural icon of female empowerment and resistance she is today.

Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World is curated and produced by ArtScience Museum with the support of Cristina Kahlo Alcalá.
