The Brownsville Historical Association presents Soul of the Tehuana, a textile and Día De Los Muertos exhibition. Soul of the Tehuana, in part, pays tribute to Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, through her iconic use of the traditional Tehuana traje (outfit). In addition to highlighting the origin of the textiles, the exhibit itself will serve as an altar to Frida Kahlo and implement other customary elements used in celebrating Día De Los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday. The exhibition will be on display at the Costumes of the Americas Museum from September 5, 2023 through January 5, 2024.
