The exhibition "I paint flowers so they don't die" opens on 30 November in Rome, Italy
28 November 2024
The exhibition "I paint flowers so they don't die" (Dipingo fiori per non farli morire) ,proposed by the Associazione Metamorfosi and curated by Carlo Lucidi, celebrates the 70th anniversary of Frida Kahlo's death and opens on 30 November 2024 at the Sala Santa Rita in Rome.
With more than 80 female artists from all over the world, the exhibition recounts, through contemporary jewellery, the enduring and universal influence of Frida Kahlo, a symbol of resistance, beauty and female identity.
The over 300 works on display explore the link between creativity, resilience and female identity through unique pieces made from materials ranging from gold to recycled metals, from ceramics to textiles. Each work, like a small universe, tells stories of strength, suffering, hope and rebirth, themes that reflect the art and life of Kahlo, who so influenced and continues to inspire generations of women artists.
Jewellery, which has always been a symbol of personality and identity, becomes the medium through which these artists dialogue with Kahlo's themes: pain, hope, the double, identity.
The exhibition is promoted by Roma Capitale Assessorato alla Cultura-Dipartimento Attività Culturali.
