Performance

Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo - The Making of an Icon

1 upcoming performance in New York

Now at Symphony Space, *Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo – The Making of an Icon* traces how Kahlo’s paintings, photographs, letters, and public image hardened into a global symbol. The film treats her work as a record of illness, politics, and self-fashioning, and asks what gets lost when biography becomes brand. Symphony Space frames it as a live New York event, with featured performers Ani DiFranco, Tony Trischka, Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke. Its most useful move is to separate the icon from the artist without pretending they can be fully untangled.
