People in London are visiting the Tate Modern art museum. They are looking at paintings by Frida Kahlo. Kahlo was a famous artist. She painted many pictures of herself. These paintings show her feelings and her difficult life. One famous painting from 1937 is called "The Heart." In this picture, a sword goes through her chest. It shows her great pain. She also made drawings in 1926 about an accident. Kahlo used art to show her true self to the world.
Kahlo was a very interesting person. In old photos, she has thick black eyebrows. Sometimes she wore beautiful dresses. Other times, she wore a suit and a tie. She liked to show different parts of her identity through her clothes and her art.
Music can also help people show who they are. The rock band Placebo is a good example. The singer, Brian Molko, faced many problems in public. Some people were mean to him because of his long hair and makeup. They used bad words to insult him. To fight back, Molko wrote a song called "Nancy Boy." He wanted the song to be loud and strong. This song became very popular. It helped many people who felt different or lonely. They felt they were not alone when they listened to the music. Both Kahlo and Placebo used their art to find strength during hard times.
