THE SELECTER lead singer Pauline Black OBE was among thousands to visit an immersive exhibition exploring the life and work of iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo at Coventry’s Reel Store.
The iconic singer gave her seal of approval to the exhibition, which uses Kahlo’s personal diary to enable people to understand what shaped the global icon.
The exhibition has already won three major international prizes, including the Silver award for ‘Best Technical Installation’ at the Eventoplus Awards and enjoyed a sell-out run in Madrid, where it welcomed over 100,000 visitors.
It was conceived, designed, and produced by international exhibition producer Acciona Cultura alongside the Frida Kahlo Trust, combining academic research with an immersive spectacle.
The Reel Store director Chris Michaels said: “We are delighted by the amazing feedback from Coventry visitors, as well as the many people who have travelled from across the UK to see the show.
“The festive period is a great time for people to come into the city and pay a visit. The Life and Work of Frida Kahlo offers a magical journey through a traditional museum experience and digital spectacle.”
The Reel Store will open over the festive period apart from New Year’s Day.
