Miami Regionals Celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month with Lecture

Description

The Association of Latino and American Students at Miami University Regionals’ will host National Hispanic Heritage month spotlighting Frida Kahlo with a special lecture October 3, Negotiating Identity: The Self Portraits of Frida Kahlo. 

Artists have long used the self-portrait as a way to articulate their personal and collective identities. Dr. Lori Parks (Department of Humanities and Creative Arts), will examine the ways in which Frida Kahlo explores and expresses her physical and psychological life experiences as well as her interest in her own mixed Mexican-German heritage. After our lecture we will have refreshments. Also, we will have Frida Kahlo style jewelry available for purchase.
