In anticipation of the V&A’s forthcoming exhibition, Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up, an interactive installation and workshop space inspired by the revolutionary 20th century artist is opening in Belgravia.
Frida’s Parlour has been designed to recapture the spirit of Khalo’s legendary residence in Mexico City called Casa Azul. The parlour’s standout feature is the Wallpaper Room inspired by the green floral backdrop of Nickolas Muray’s iconic photograph Frida Kahlo on The Bench. With striking floral wallpaper covering the floor, furniture, ceiling and walls, this space is Instragram catnip.
Opening from 19 May to 16 June, visitors will be able to enjoy a series of creative workshops in self-portraiture, jewellery making, flower arranging and floral cocktail making. They can also try their hand at making the iconic floral headdress which epitomises Frida’s style.
Frida’s Parlour opens on the first day of Frida’s Belgravia in Bloom- a week-long floral festival which coincides with the Chelsea Flower Show and will see retailers create vibrant floral installations, spectacular displays and Mexican-themed menus.
Frida’s Parlour is open from 19 May – 16 June at 141 Ebury Street, Belgravia. Whilst entry to the Wallpaper Room exhibition is free, workshops will cost £20-25. For more programme details and ticket bookings visit fridasbelgravia.com
