Frida Kahlo was an international icon for the power and intensity of her art. But she was also a master of cross-dressing, deliberately using male “drag” to project power and independence. A family photograph from 1926 shows her in full male attire.

Clothes were extremely important to Kahlo. Frida used dress to make a nationalist political point, she also used it to make a statement about her own independence from feminine norms.

In this photoshop collage, I paired the ‘Humanity First’ LGBTQ buttons from the Yang2020.com site with one of the worlds most celebrated international art icons, Fridha Kahlo.
