📜 History & Context
- Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) is one of the most recognizable artists in the world — a woman who turned her suffering into strength and her pain into color.
- Through her portraits and symbolism, Frida explored themes of identity, femininity, love, betrayal, and resilience.
- The V&A last showcased Kahlo’s work in 2018, and it became one of the most visited exhibitions in its history. The 2026 show promises to be even more ambitious, including rarely seen self-portraits, sketches from her hospital stays, and personal letters to Diego Rivera 💌.
👉 Our editorial team believes this will be one of the most moving art experiences in London — not just an exhibition, but an emotional journey through creativity and endurance.
🎯 Mission & Significance
• To celebrate Frida Kahlo as a symbol of self-expression and female strength.
