"Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving" Digital Curator Discussion and Ex-Voto Drawing Workshop

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the highly anticipated exhibition "Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving" led by guest curator Circe Henestrosa and advising curator Gannit Ankori, with opening remarks by Hillary Olcott, coordinating curator and associate curator of the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Following the conversation, join teaching artist Raphael Noz to explore the ex-voto painting tradition, which inspired the work of Frida Kahlo. Ex-voto or votive paintings are a tradition of folk art that pay tribute to divine intervention in personal calamities, as well as providing an inadvertent catalogue of human misfortune.

The following materials are needed for the activity:

Pencil
12”x 8” Cardboard (landscape)
Acrylic Paints *or color pencils/pastels
Paintbrushes (if using paint)
*If planning to paint prep cardboard by painting white.
