Join us this September to hear acclaimed art history lecturer, Stella Grace Lyons's talk on Frida Kahlo.

Feminist icon, folk artist, or surrealist?

Frida Kahlo's art sought to establish a Mexican identity but much of it was an expression of her own pain.

This art history talk tries to separate the woman from the myth, the painting from the hype.

You've bought the t shirt, now come along to the talk!

'Without sacrificing scholarship, Stella Grace Lyons has a most engaging way of hooking an audience into sharing her passionate interest in art history, drawing three dimensional human stories and experiences from the two-dimensional canvas'

- Maev Kennedy, Guardian Arts Correspondent

Following the talk, please stay for tea and delicious cake, served in the Pavilion's beautiful Gallery.
