Stigma Stains: The Somaesthetics of Institutional Abjection
Dr Natasha Lushetich
Abstract:
Abstract:

Circe Henestrosa (co-editor and author)
Abstract:
Abstract:
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), as an artist and a woman, has a unique international appeal. Her instantly recognizable work draws extensively on her life and her extraordinarily personal reflections upon it. On Kahlo's death, her husband, Diego Rivera (1886-1957), ordered that her most private possessions be locked away until 15 years after his death.
