FRIDA KAHLO – ART AND LEGACY: The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event entitled Frida Kahlo: Art & Legacy.

Celebrate International Women’s Day with an exclusive virtual event exploring the life, art, and enduring legacy of Frida Kahlo (1907 to 1954). Join Sarah Powers, curator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), for a deep dive into her research for the upcoming exhibition Frida: Beyond the Myth, (April 5 to September 28, 2025).

Powers will offer insights into Kahlo’s artistry and life, focusing on the pivotal role of the artist’s personal mythology in shaping our understanding of her as one of the 20th century’s most iconic artists. Following the presentation, Powers will engage in a dynamic conversation with Laura Hoffman, NMWA director of digital engagement. They will discuss NMWA’s collection of Kahlo’s personal letters and how digital innovation is transforming the way we connect with personal narratives in art.

This virtual event is from noon to 1 p.m. Register at https://nmwa.org/whats-on/calendar/frida-kahlo-art-legacy/
