March 7 – 4 pm

by Monika Ghattas, PhD. 

Following the Mexican Revolution of 1917-1920, the administration of Álfaro Obregón launched a program to create Mexico’s unique identity based on its rich history, its indigenous culture, and colorful folk traditions. It hired leading artists to paint murals in public buildings illustrating the tenants of Mexican culture. This talk will focus on prominent 20th century Mexican Modernists – Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Rufino Tamayo and others and their efforts to nurture and celebrate Mexican identity.
