## Resource

In her short lifetime of just 47 years, Frida Kahlo was a relatively little-known artist. Now, she's a global icon. And while her actual work is hard to come by, her image is not.  Tate Modern's Frida: The Making of an Icon explores how Kahlo's iconic status came to be and her enduring influence on generations of younger artists.  Co-curator Beatriz Garcia-Velasco, talks to Jen about the exhibition, Kahlo's life and work, and the way in which she's been adopted as a cultural icon in feminist, LGBTQ+, and disabled communities.
