Layers of Reality & Frida Kahlo Corporation

Journey through the life of one of the most influential artists of all time.

For the first time in Australia, a unique biographical exhibition allows you to better understand Frida Kahlo, the woman whose perseverance, rebellion and talent placed her eons ahead of her time.

Co-created by the Frida Kahlo Corporation and the renowned Spanish digital arts company Layers of Reality, this multi-sensory experience features nine transformational spaces, from collections of historical photographs and original films, captivating holography, 360º projections and a virtual reality system that will literally transport you inside Kahlo’s most famous works.

There are opportunities to create your own flower crowns, turn your drawings into Frida-esque artwork and immortalise yourself through a souvenir illustrated photo, all accompanied by fresh arrangements of traditional Mexican music and live performance.

Wander through The Cutaway and prepare to be fully immersed in the colourful inspirations and pivotal moments of this 20th century icon.

Frida Kahlo
Why is it that the work, spirit and story of Frida Kahlo continues to surprise and inspire us, nearly 70 years from her death? Though best known for her colourful and uncompromising self-portraits which deal with themes of identity, death and the female form, Frida Kahlo is remembered as so much more than an incredible artist. A symbol of strength in the face of tragedy in health and love; an openly bisexual feminist icon who spurned gender stereotypes; a bold champion of the original and unusual – these are just some of the remarkable traits of this enduring muse.
