Description

Join the Mexican Cultural Institute, in partnership with Shakespeare Theatre Company, for a special symposium exploring the life, identity, and artistic legacy of Frida Kahlo.

Minister Marta Turok, our Executive Director, will present Mirrors of the Soul: Cataloguing Frida’s Wardrobe, a visual exploration of Frida’s eclectic clothing, personal style, and the evolution of her identity. The presentation will be followed by a conversation and Q&A moderated by Drew Lichtenberg, Artistic Producer of Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Inspired by the questions raised in STC’s production Frida...A Self Portrait by Vanessa Severo, this program invites us to reflect on how Frida’s self-presentation shaped her identity and blurred the boundaries between life and art.

MISSION

The Mexican Cultural Institute of Washington, D.C. is committed to enriching the relationship between Mexico and the United States by sharing Mexico’s vibrant cultural past and present with the local community. Since its establishment in 1990, the Institute has succeeded in presenting diverse, ongoing cultural programs and has become a thriving artistic center in the heart of Washington. Over the past three decades, the Institute has developed cultural programming in partnership with many institutions in the nation’s capital, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress.

A new phase at the Institute features the following focal points for development:

Mexico as a plural, diverse, and creative culture
Artistic dialogue between Mexico and the United States
Education for the arts

The Mexican Cultural Institute is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that relies on private, corporate, and foundation support to fulfill its mission.

OUTREACH

We have extended invitations to students from around the Washington Metropolitan area through a restructured Outreach program. We welcome our younger audiences to the Institute to learn about the vibrancy of Mexican Culture and develop a deeper cultural awareness. Guided Tours are available, free of charge.
