A new exhibition about Frida, "Kahlo Without Borders", highlights her time in hospitals.
18 January 2022
MSU's Broad Art Museum in Michigan, US, opened the exhibit on January 15th, displaying Frida Kahlo's health issues and time spent in hospitals.
Kahlo Without Borders is organized by Cristina Kahlo - Frida Kahlo's grandniece-, MSU Broad Art Museum executive director Mónica Ramírez-Montagut and Javier Roque Vázquez Juárez.
Recently revealed documents pertaining to her final hospital stay will be of paramount interest equally to biographers, specialists in the field of art history, and healthcare workers. This unexpected, interdisciplinary (boldly traversing the fields of art and healthcare) yet intimate approach to the worlds of Frida Kahlo will be presented as an emotional journey through images, documents, and family and clinical archives—one similar to the poignant and enthralling experience of sorting through a family scrapbook or a trunk of memories. These files bear witness to her health challenges encouraging the visitor to imagine how, from a hospital bed and through the power of creativity and self-expression, she transformed the history of art of the 20th century.
