Episode 160: Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life

We Dig Plants is back! Kicking off the new fall season with Claudia Mora of the New York Botanical Garden, the ladies are talking in-depth about the “Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life” exhibit that is currently ongoing. Frida Kahlo loved her garden, and Claudia shares how the garden inspired Frida’s art. The artist’s studio in Mexico City overlooked a great deal of plant life, much of which became a part of her paintings. With passionate colors and interesting use of animals, flowers, and other natural imagery makes an eyeful for anyone venturing to the Bronx. Tune in for a behind the scenes look at this popular event! This program was brought to you by International Culinary Center.   “This exhibition is totally bilingual.  It’s the first exhibition that the New York Botanical Garden has done… This exhibit is not only celebrating Friday but also Mexico City.” [25:00] “We’re talking about her through the horticultural lens.” [33:00] –Claudia Mora on We Dig Plants See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
