During Art Dubai Week 2018, INKED, in collaboration with flora&faunavisions present “La Casa Azul “, a pop-dinner series inspired by the artistic universe and musings of one of the most momentous artists of the 20th century – Frida Kahlo.
The pop-up dinner experience will take guests into a three-dimensional immersive culinary representation of the artist – from her home and sanctuary which is known as the “Caza Azul“, to her love for the varying shades of cultures which Mexico boast. Though she was trapped in a body constantly wracked with pain and the many dramatic episodes of her life, she has let light and the freedom of a life without boundaries infiltrate her inside out.
La Casa Azulwill conceptualize in a culinary food experience showcasing the 360° multimedia installation INSIDEOUT by flora&faunavisions, the reality of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo was not only a renowned Mexican artist, but also an indomitable spirit. Her paintings were a juxtaposition of mixed realism and fantasy, often depicting her own emotions. Both joyful and dramatic, her paintings portray strength and female empowerment as well as melancholia and perseverance.
INSIDEOUT is a traveling art installation created by flora&faunavisions, revealed at the Triennale der Photographie in Hamburg, during Vienna Design Week, and in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo. Today, it makes its appearance in Dubai at INKED, as part of Art Dubai 2018.
In her words: “I want a storm to come and flood us into a song that no one wrote.”
Join the experience where the storms and floods of one woman’s life, became the strength and inspiration sung by generations passed and those to come.
