Remembering Frida Kahlo (1907-54)

On Friday, a museum in Mexico City will feature a collection of photographs, letters and personal items belonging to Mexicana painter & icon Frida Kahlo, which is part of a 100th anniversary celebration of Kahlo's birth. These items, along with those belonging to her husband Diego Rivera, Mexicano muralist, will be on public display after 50 years of being kept private.

No doubt that Frida will always be remembered.

For those of you intersted in Frida's writings, check out:

I'm excited about this also!

You need to check out the film titled "Mujeres Revolucionarias," which presents the vidas of Frida and escritora Elena Poniatowska. The film was produced by LionsGate.
