Decades after her death, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo remains an icon for Chicanos as well as for the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements.

On September 17, 1925, Frida Kahlo stepped onto a bus in Mexico City to return to her home in the nearby town of Coyoacán. What happened next changed the course of her life. A streetcar collided with the bus and sent it careening into a wall, and the crash left Kahlo seriously injured. Though she survived, her dreams of continuing her education and becoming a doctor were shattered.

Kahlo painted while she recovered. She had always been creative, but now she began to devote her attention to art with a new passion. Over the next few decades, Kahlo continued to hone her skill, and her reputation in the art community grew. Today, her paintings can be found in some of the most famous art galleries in the world. Follow the life of one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century and learn how her life and art continue to inspire people around the world.
