Return for a second day at the MSU Broad Art Museum—on Thursday, June 30, 2022 from 6–8pm, artist, curator, and Frida Kahlo’s grandniece Cristina Kahlo will discuss themes in Kahlo Without Borders, including family archives, photography, and her own work.
Both events are entirely free, but visitors must reserve tickets in advance to attend. Visit broadmuseum.msu.edu/calendar for more information and to register today. Seats are limited.
Kahlo Without Borders seeks to connect museum visitors to the intimate and creative world of Frida Kahlo and her unique support system of close friends, family members, and health care providers. By blurring the boundaries between her internal and external worlds, the exhibition focuses on the time towards the end of her life when she was a patient at the Medical Center ABC in Mexico City, and includes family photographs, collections, and never-before-seen medical archives.
