In honor of Mexican Independence Day, I’d like to introduce you to Frida Kahlo. Her work and life are captivating.
Frida was a painter and an activist, whose presence was nearly unknown to the world. She almost died of Polio at the age of 6, then as an adult she was in a horrible auto accident.
The latter effectively ended her aspiring medical career and was a catalyst for her painting career. Which she began during a year-long recovery.
Her art, which the world almost didn’t have, is an expression of her activism. Her focus being inclusivity, culture, and indigenous rebellion against colonialism.
My favorite quote from her:
“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”
