Op Frida’s Vleugels

“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”

This winged statement was written by Frida Kahlo in her diary at the end of her life, when her right leg was amputated. In recent years, there has been increasing attention for the various disabilities that Frida lived with. Many people see her as a tragic figure, or as an inspiring hero. But what if she is neither?

In the podcast series Op Frida’s Vleugels, Xandra Koster and Eline Pollaert investigate what the work and life of Frida Kahlo mean to them and to other disabled people. (Translation provided by Google Translate. This podcast is no longer in production.)
