(SAN ANTONIO, Texas) From May through November 2, A "Fida Kahlo Oasis" exhibit will be on display at the San Antonio botanical garden.
An unused area in the garden was transformed into an oasis with pictures, portraits and facts of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s home, according to KSAT.
“The walls (are) that iconic blue, which, by the way, we had matched to be exact with the museum,” Sabina Carr, CEO of the San Antonio Botanical Garden, said. “(The Casa Azúl Museum was) incredibly supportive and cooperative with the folks (at Phantasus) who have built the show out for us. And so, this is our stylized version of Casa Azúl.”
Phantasus is the Mexico City-based artisan workshop. They have also taken a part in one of San Antonio's official Day of the Dead celebrations.
Phantasus created replicas to showcase Frida's life and work including her desk and paints.
Mexican native plants and more than a hundred other plants make up her oasis as well.
The exhibit features things about Diego Rivera's life too, such as the calla lily, a subject Rivera had in his paintings.
The oasis is included with the general admission and membership. More information can be found here.
