Episode 199: Frida Fantasy II: An Interview with Josie Lopez

Babelito and FavyFav chat with Dr. Josie Lopez, Albuquerque Museum Curator of Art, and delve into the long and complicated history, context and legacy of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism, which is also the tile of the exhibition currently on view at the Albuquerque Museum. This special episode of LWL highlights the ways in which Frida's art has served to push nationalist agendas, engaged in unethical artistic practices, and helped erase other female artists from the conversation.
