Michaela Gonzales
Ms. Michaela Gonzales created this lecture with the support of Sophie Touzé, art historian at City College who is teaching a variety of courses such as Women through Art History and Latin American Art History among others. Together they leveraged an interactive tool called VoiceThread and Michaela created a lesson focusing on aspects of the Diego Rivera’s Pan American Unity mural.
This lesson discusses deeply feminine characters in the mural such as Coatlicue the primordial goddess in the middle, the Indigenous Tehuantepec region woman referenced in Kahlo’s dress code as well as real life persons such a Frida Kahlo herself and other characters such as the diver Helen Crlenkovich on the upper left.
We hope that you will enjoy this tremendously masterful work done by Ms. Gonzales. It has been presented in college wide presentations and is continuously used in Ms. Touzé’s ART 106 course – Latin American Art History and greatly enjoyed by her students.

This is a brief animated video on the history of Diago Rivera, Frida Khalo. and the Pan American Unity mural. I used motion graphics to illustrate some of the history and ideology behind the creation of this historic work. I hope this video is a good preface to some of the content in this multilayer piece of art.
