Proposed Edits

Hello! I plan to add information about the painting serving as a representation of Mexican identity as well as describe cultural products that arose from this artwork, such as the play, Las dos Fridas, by Bárbara Córcega, María del Carmen Farías, and Abraham Oceransky. I would also like to add information about how creators of media responding to Kahlo’s painting view the different representations of Frida as not only different parts of herself, but rather as two independent personalities within one individual. Finally, I plan to add information connecting Kahlo’s multi-racial heritage to the notion of colonialism in Mexico. Adding information about the interpretation of Kahlo’s painting has the larger significance of showing how her depiction of her identity resonates with the Mexican public and inspired future cultural products.21:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@Anonymous249: Looking forward to seeing your contributions! A couple points to keep in mind when editing the article:

• Wikipedia is intended for a "general audience". This means it should avoid overly academic language, and try to convey ideas in a way that the general public can easily understand.
• Everything in Wikipedia should be verifiable in reliable sources. This means you should avoid adding your own opinions or original research and instead focus on paraphrasing and distilling what has already been written about The Two Fridas in published sources.

Hope that makes sense. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page. Kaldari (talk) 02:45, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
