A new museum dedicated to Frida Kahlo, Museo Casa Kahlo, opened on 27 September in Mexico City's Coyoacán neighborhood, a five-minute walk from the iconic Casa Azul.

Exhibitions Celebrate Mead’s 75th Anniversary

The Mead Art Museum celebrated its 75th anniversary with a fall installation featuring three distinct exhibitions: Swapnaa Tamhane's immersive textile work "Spaces That Hold," "A Contentious Legacy: Paintings from Soviet Ukraine," and "Re/Presenting: An Activity Gallery."

Tate Britain is opening a major survey of American photographer Lee Miller (1907-77), running from 2 October 2025 to 15 February 2026.

Letter calls on Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolakonnikova to cancel Tel Aviv exhibition

More than 50 artists and cultural figures, many based in Israel, have signed a letter urging American artist Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova to cancel their collaborative exhibition "What if women ruled the world?" at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The show, which opened last week, features a digital quilt responding to the titular question. The letter, seen by The Art Newspaper, argues that holding the exhibition in Israel makes the artists "complicit" in what the signatories describe as genocide in Gaza, citing a recent UN commission finding. Tolokonnikova stated she is not involved in the ongoing project, while Chicago declined to comment. The museum defended the exhibition as a space for reflection and dialogue, not an endorsement of any political position.
