Passion, Politics, and Art in 20th-Century Mexico *Sold Out*

This event is sold out. Unfortunately, due to the limited seats for the tour/lunch, there is no waitlist.

In collaboration with the North Carolina Museum of Art and the exhibition Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection

Passions ran high in the Mexico of the 1920s and ’30s, and no two people better exemplify these passions than the artistic couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.These two artists intensely engaged with the leftist political activism of the age, and they used their works to foster solidarity among the Mexican people.They also shared an intense and, at times, tempestuous personal relationship that affected their art and exposed gender imbalances that persisted despite their shared commitment to social justice.Their lives and work will be explored in this seminar, which includes an optional lunch and exhibition tour at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
