On Her 110th Birthday, San Francisco Will Be Celebrating The Artist’s Life And Work In A Big Way

By May 26, 2017 at 1:52 pm

Fiestas Fridas San Francisco, a project by Cine + Mas San Francisco, is holding their 5th Annual celebration of Frida Kahlo’s life and art as it relates to the city of San Francisco. Proceeds from the event benefit “a LaTEENo Youth Filmmakers project,” according to their Facebook page.

The festival offers art exhibits and events centered around Frida Kahlo and fan art.

Today at Luz de Luna we celebrate a Special Dia de los Muertos in honor of Frida. She passed on July 13th 3 to 6 pm.

“Everyday past the age of 18 was a gift from the universe for Frida. She rose to meet the present with a brush in one hand and life in the other,” reads the festival’s description on Facebook. “We celebrate her legacy by word, spirit and action as she is the mother of all who choose to ‘Carry on and Create!'”

During this celebration, people channel their inner Kahlo with colorful makeup – without forgetting Kahlo’s signature brow.


#Stunning

And based on photos of their events in the past, there is no shortage of women wearing beautiful floral crowns…

40 Years Of Hip Hop Were Just Mashed Up Into This Insane 4 Minute Song

THE HOOD INTERNET / YOUTUBE

Fans of hip hop, get ready to pour 40 years of hip hop into your ears in only four minutes.

The Hood Internet, known for their great mash-ups of indie rock and hip hop tracks, just released arguably their most ambitious music project to date. Titled “40 Years Of Hip Hop,” the Hood Internet created a musical collage of some of the greatest hooks and beats to come out of hip hop over the last several decades. Of course, not every one could be included, but many of the heavyweights, as well as some under appreciated heroes of hip hp make an appearance. Several expected names make an appearance – like Dr. Dre, Run DMC, and Tupac – as well as several great Latino artists, like AZ, Cypress Hill, Kid Cudi and Fat Joe. Do yourself a favor: turn the volume up, hit play, and see if you can name everyone included in the video.
