In 2018, San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to rename Phelan Avenue to Frida Kahlo Way. Frida Kahlo Way is the home of City College of San Francisco and Archbishop Riordan High School. [311] The only changes I made was to completely line the top and to lengthen the skirt to maxi length. I was so happy with the way it came out. She can definitely wear both of these piece again.

Barson, Tanya (2005). " 'All Art is At Once Surface and Symbol': A Frida Kahlo Glossary". In Dexter, Emma (ed.). Frida Kahlo. Tate Modern. In addition to Aztec legends, Kahlo frequently depicted two central female figures from Mexican folklore in her paintings: La Llorona and La Malinche [122] as interlinked to the hard situations, the suffering, misfortune or judgement, as being calamitous, wretched or being " de la chingada". [123] For example, when she painted herself following her miscarriage in Detroit in Henry Ford Hospital (1932), she shows herself as weeping, with dishevelled hair and an exposed heart, which are all considered part of the appearance of La Llorona, a woman who murdered her children. [124] The painting was traditionally interpreted as simply a depiction of Kahlo's grief and pain over her failed pregnancies. But with the interpretation of the symbols in the painting and the information of Kahlo's actual views towards motherhood from her correspondence, the painting has been seen as depicting the unconventional and taboo choice of a woman remaining childless in Mexican society. [125] Kahlo gained more appreciation for her art in Mexico as well. She became a founding member of the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana, a group of twenty-five artists commissioned by the Ministry of Public Education in 1942 to spread public knowledge of Mexican culture. [58] As a member, she took part in planning exhibitions and attended a conference on art. [59] In Mexico City, her paintings were featured in two exhibitions on Mexican art that were staged at the English-language Benjamin Franklin Library in 1943 and 1944. She was invited to participate in "Salon de la Flor", an exhibition presented at the annual flower exposition. [60] An article by Rivera on Kahlo's art was also published in the journal published by the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana. [61] External images

I have brought along a cheapo book of Kahlo reproductions, and Hayek falls on it, looking for images to illustrate her argument.I really wanted to recreate them some how. I thought about chopping the hands off of one of Ava’s dolls and using them to make the earrings. But, then I thought that would be pretty traumatizing for her!
