Frida’s chronic pain, sudden loss and heartbreak, combined with the disillusionment of the USA during her time in Detroit. All the while, she’s soaking in everything and discovering she is a woman of complex identities, leading us to “Self-Portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States”. Our Art Pantry of the week is Metal (Painting).
