9. SOUNDBITE (English) Claire Wilcox, co-curator of exhibition:
"It's quite unusual to mix art and personal items in the way we've done here, but for Frida, who was the artist who painted so many self portraits and whose construction of identity was so important, to be able to show the actual costumes that she wore and to see the flecks of paint scattered all over them, and to understand more about how and why she looked the way she did, seemed a very important subject for an exhibition."
10. Various of corsets worn by Kahlo due to disabilities caused by a near-fatal bus crash

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Claire Wilcox, co-curator of exhibition:
"Frida's identity, her appearance, her art, are all wrapped up in the landscape of her disabilities. She lived her life in pain but she transcended it. She distracted attention from her bad leg, from the injuries to her back by wearing brightly coloured, loose country clothing."

[@luciemedici]

Saw it a Brooklyn Museum I was in awe 💓

[@hornybodhisattva]

My grandfather’s neighbor I was born in her neighborhood beyond belief honored

[@sabrinanascimento5248]

She is my inspiration. She was strong in facing her adversity. I have to live with back spasms and had a hysterectomy 10 years ago. Then in 2015 I met my soulmate and Twin Georg who I love 💗 like Frida Kahlo loved Diego Rivera. I am looking at the coincidence and correlation between us. Not to compare but realize that the Universe arranges events and people in such a way that makes sense to me the Viewer.

[@dominiquesilva2070]

Sabrina Nascimento thats an inspirational story between you two and Frida & Diego...the coincidence is there....thank you for sharing

[@sabrinanascimento1267]

[@dandarth-kc9cf]

She suffered of narcissism . I am an artist too but, i ve never felt the need to make a painting with my face.
