“[T]his is what is important to Harvard students now?”
Yes, this this and only this. Not a discussion of Kahlo as an artist even but an interrogation of “her genealogy” and how she “chose to portray” her own existence.
And if she’s insufficiently colored, she’ll be found wanting.
Pretty sure she was married to famed muralist Diego Rivera (if it’s Jeopardy and it’s murals, it’s him!). Pretty sure he’ll be judged too darn white, although I know nothing about his “genealogy”.
They were both big commies, but even that is not enough anymore, as you see. One must be a commie of color! And they don’t even mean Red anymore, or even Pinko!
I feel bad for any young person who wants to actually study ANYTHING. Good luck!
Yes she was.
Apparently they weren’t the right kind of commies!
