Through the lens of Feminist theory, Dr. Rebecca Dominguez Karimi analyzes the world of Frida Kahlo’s paintings that depict the tropes of Indigenism and Mexicanidad. Briefly examining Kahlo’s life from a historical framework, Dominguez-Karimi will guide us through an investigation of indigenous and Mexican cultural symbols that permeate Kahlo’s artwork, and will discuss the long lasting impact of Kahlo’s art on contemporary Mexican culture.

Dr. Rebecca Dominguez-Karimi is a Feminist, oral historian, writer, and speaker for the Florida Humanities Council. She graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a PhD in Comparative Studies and specializes in Oral history, Mexican American studies, restorative justice, and Women’s studies. She taught at Nova Southeastern University and Broward College.

She also designed and implemented “Treasures From Aztlan,” an oral history collection that documents the racist practices of the Jim Crow laws against Mexican Americans in Texas.
