About this talk
This joint talk features new research on Mexican icon, Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), currently the inspiration for a record-breaking exhibition at the Tate Modern. Speaking as an archaeologist, Baquedano addresses Kahlo’s awareness of and love for ancient Mesoamerican cultures and their symbolic meanings, as revealed in the artist’s paintings and in photographs. Villaseñor Black presents new research on Chicana/o (or Mexican American) artists’ revival of Kahlo in the 1970s and how she influenced their engagement with indigeneity and artesanías.
