Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a pioneer in fashioning the disabled body. Since early childhood, she developed a profound understanding of the self-empowering role that clothes, accessories, and artmaking played in reflecting and constructing her complex identity. Through art and fashion, she concealed and revealed both her disabilities and exceptional abilities. 


In this program, Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, will detail how the life and work of Frida Kahlo is a potent rejection of ableist discourse and affirms an alternative way of being.


This program will be hosted online, with ASL interpretation. Registration is required.
