Overview

Frida Kahlo’s Corset is a short experimental drama that follows a journey of transformation by the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) who wore a series of orthopaedic corsets because of impairment.

This film from artist-activist Liz Crow draws on Kahlo’s own words and characteristically bold painting style, refuting the picture of Kahlo’s life as one of tragedy and suffering.
