The fascination with the life of the queer Mexican artist Frida Kahlo still remains as strong as ever even though it is nearly 70 years since she died.  There have been countless books, a Hollywood movie starring Salma Hayek and her image adorns T-shirts, bags, and souvenirs such as fridge magnets etc.

Kahlo continues to fascinate for her unique artistic language that interprets her physical and emotional pain, her unconventional relationships with men and women, and her complex marriage to the great Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.

Now the BBC has made a three-part mini-series Becoming Frida Kahlo which will delight Frida fans with its wealth of photographs and archival films featuring the artist in her private and public moments..

 

Becoming Frida screens on BBC IPlayer that can be viewed globally by a VPN  https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m001jw97/becoming-frida-kahlo
