Show Notes

In the second part of our trip through Mexico City and the link between science and art in Mexican history, we travel back through time to meet some of the country's many artist-scientists. We start with one of the biggest names of all - Frida Kahlo - and delve into how she was an heir to an ancient tradition of blending culture and nature that very literally goes back to the beginning of Mexican history.
