“Same iconic painting, two very different museum exhibitions. Learn how “Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird” by Frida Kahlo has been interpreted in recent exhibitions at the New York Botanical Garden and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Housed at the Harry Ransom Center, the painting is one of Kahlo’s best-known artworks and has been exhibited worldwide.
Join Ransom Center Curator of Art Tracy Bonfitto, who will host a discussion with curators Adriana Zavala and Layla Bermeo to explore how varied curatorial choices and contextual environments may enhance our understanding of Kahlo and her work.
HOW TO WATCHThis program will be posted on the Ransom Center Facebook page and YouTube channel. Be sure to like or subscribe to our accounts for notifications when new videos are posted.
