Kahlo-rivera show designers to speak

The Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibit on view at the High Museum of Art gives viewers a sense of artistic movements popular in Mexico in the early 20th century. But what about Mexican art now?

At least one answer takes the form of two reading rooms along the perimeter of the exhibit, one bright red, the other yellow.

At 7 p.m. Thursday at the High, Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena, the designers of those two rooms and co-founders of the design firm THiNC, will give a free talk about what it means to be a Mexican artist today.

Esrawe is an industrial and product designer inspired by traditional folk art. Cadena’s work is largely influenced by everyday objects and environments. 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 404733-4444, www.high.org.
