Frida: Disability, Sexuality, and Art

In honor of Pride Month, upcoming Disability Pride Month, and the opportunity to always highlight cool disabled people, let's talk about Frida Kahlo.  Many are aware of the legendary artist, Frida Kahlo: her famous artwork, impact on culture, and iconic appearance.

Her disabilities made a lasting impact on her art, heavily influencing what, who, and how she painted.
