Kahlo/Modotti–Forty Years Later is the result of a visit by Laura Mulvey to the Department of Film Studies at the University of Zurich in November 2022. The booklet contains two texts: Mulvey’s evening lecture at the Cabaret Voltaire, revisiting hers and Peter Wollen’s exhibition and film on Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti, and Wollen’s 2003 essay on the phenomenon of “Fridamania.”
Laura Mulvey is a feminist film theorist and director. Peter Wollen (1938–2019) was a British film theorist and filmmaker.
