THE EXPERIENCE
Celebrate Frida Kahlo’s birthday by joining photographer and model Alexandra Gomez (Studio Who) for an afternoon centered around identity, creative process, and self-portraiture. Gomez will introduce the film and give a short talk on the art of self-portraiture in advance of a screening of Frida—a movie about the artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled her image and her life into her work. She will also be raffling off a portrait session to audience members.
ON SCREEN: Frida
2002. Directed by Julie Taymor. Runtime: 2hr 2min. Rated R.
Biopic of the bold and controversial life of artist Frida Kahlo. Set in Mexico City, this visually evocative film traces her lifelong, tempestuous relationship with her mentor, along with her illicit affairs with Leon Trotsky and various women. Her forward-thinking artistic, political, and sexual attitudes are explored as we witness a hard-drinking, passionate woman of the early 1900s, which earned an Oscar nomination for Salma Hayek.
ON STAGE: Alexandra Gomez
