DARE LIKE FRIDA
WHAT
The exhibition celebrates the 18th anniversary of the museum by showcasing the works of 7 emerging Chinese female artists who have been deeply influenced by the indomitable spirit of the legendary Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. Through immersive large-scale installations, multi-media works, and looping Frida Kahlo footage, the exhibition pays tribute to Frida Kahlo herself, drawing inspiration from her life, which was filled with pain, love, and struggles.
WHY
By bringing Frida Kahlo’s iconic residence, the ‘Blue House’, from Mexico to Shanghai, the exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to be transported into a vibrant and colourful botanical garden. It provides a close-up encounter with Frida’s emotional world, allowing fans and admirers to immerse themselves in the life of this iconic figure.
