The letters, which can be explored in our online exhibition <a style="color: #a3005b; text-decoration: none;" href="http://engage.nmwa.org/site/R?i=A1KEsUAuHcrzRIhzOz9sOg"><em>Mamacita Linda: Letters between Frida Kahlo and her Mother</em></a> (best viewed on a desktop) reveal a part of Kahlo we might not otherwise know. We see her strength and resilience along with her vulnerability and loneliness as she navigates a strange land.</p>
