Besides being brilliant artists, they were all males. However, ToDA is shaking things up this May with a solo show dedicated to the one and only Frida Kahlo. The show will highlight her turbulent life highlighting her intimate moments of both triumph and tragedy through the 360° immersive display. The show runs on various days in May.
