Bay Curious listener Erin Al Gwaiz wrote us asking to learn more about Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s time spent in San Francisco and their lasting impact on the arts scene here. This story originally ran on Dec. 3, 2020.
T
hese days, Frida Kahlo’s image is all around us. Her iconic eyebrows and piercing gaze have been immortalized on T-shirts, tote bags and tequila bottles. There’s even a Frida Barbie doll.
But before her image became so commercialized and ubiquitous, Kahlo was just a budding artist waiting for her big break. Married to the older and already famous artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo was determined to make a name for herself, and her time in San Francisco would help her do that.
Frida and Diego Come to San Francisco
It was a place she called “the city of the world,” and she often dreamed of it as a teenager, says University of San Francisco professor and author of Frida in America, Celia Stahr. As she and Rivera make their way to San Francisco in 1930, she doodles a portrait of herself set against a backdrop of how she imagined the city to be.
“When they get to San Francisco, she shows it to Diego and he just marvels at how much it looks like what they’re seeing before them, kind of like she already knew what it was going to look like even though she’d never been [here],” says Stahr. “So there’s a sense of destiny that she was supposed to come here.”
Despite the fact that it was the Great Depression and paid work opportunities for American artists were scarce, Rivera landed two prestigious mural commissions: one at the San Francisco Art Institute and another at the Pacific Stock Exchange building, now called the City Club of San Francisco. His patrons hoped that Rivera’s fame would bring prestige to the local art scene and help jump-start a mural movement in the bay.
But Rivera was a controversial pick for the Stock Exchange. As a member of the Mexican Communist Party, Rivera imbued his politics in his large-scale public murals. Many San Francisco artists were outraged that an outspoken communist would paint in the city’s “citadel of capitalism” and took to the newspaper to express their opposition.
“I believe he is the greatest living artist in the world and we would do well to have an example of his work in a public building in San Francisco. But he is not the man for the Stock Exchange building,” argued painter Maynard Dixon.
Where his critics saw offense, his supporters saw beauty. Rivera’s masterful use of the fresco technique, applying pigment to wet plaster, fascinated local artists who eagerly wanted to learn the craft.
In one of the many letters Kahlo wrote to her family about the Bay Area, she notes the nonstop attention Rivera attracted. “The poor guy can’t even go to the bathroom in peace because they’re bugging him all day,” she wrote.
The 23-year-old Kahlo had only been painting for five years, and the local press merely regarded her as the wife of the famous Mexican muralist.
“She hasn’t had that much experience. She hasn’t really found her artistic voice quite yet,” explains Celia Stahr.

Soirees, Sketching and Sightseeing
In their new home at 716 Montgomery St., not far from North Beach and Chinatown, Kahlo was surrounded by artists who energized her creative process, says Stahr. For six months, the couple stayed at the studio of Rivera’s old classmate and friend, sculptor Ralph Stackpole, who introduced them to an eclectic group of writers, painters and photographers.
Among the many Bay Area-based artists they befriended included Dorothea Lange and her husband Maynard Dixon (who had warmed to Rivera by this point).
“The foursome talked art, politics, and the bleak times,” writes Stahr. “Dorothea’s need to respond to these desperate times appealed to Frida and Diego’s working-class sympathies.”
“We would draw these composite drawings where each one would start on a particular sheet of paper and then trade them off and pass them around,” recalled deLappe in an interview recorded in 2001. “[The sketches] were usually very obscene or horrendous and bloody or sensuous in some way.”
Art historian Celia Stahr says these hangouts were helpful for Kahlo’s artistic development.
When she and Rivera weren’t busy painting, they made plenty of time for sightseeing around San Francisco.
“In the Russia colony they dress as they do in Russia, and the girls dance on the hills. The Greek colony is also very interesting and the Japanese, but most of all the Chinese,” Frida wrote in a letter to her mother.
“She just gushes about Chinatown and she writes about it quite a bit. It reminded her very much, she said, of home. She writes about how she’s convinced that the Mexican people and the Chinese people are connected to one another,” says Stahr.
Letters detail how the firecrackers during Chinese New Year festivities reminded Kahlo of street fairs back in Mexico. Silks and other handmade fabrics sold in the shops of Chinatown also caught her eye. She purchased a few to embellish her red leather boots and make into Mexican-style skirts.
Kahlo’s style definitely caught the attention of San Franciscans. Her indigenous dress, influenced by the Zapotec women of Tehuantepec, stirred so much excitement on the streets of San Francisco that she reportedly stopped traffic.
“The gringas seem to like me a lot and they are really impressed by all the dresses and rebozos I brought with me, they gape at the jade necklaces and all the painters want me to model for the portraits,” Kahlo wrote to her mother.
Her bold look catches the attention of well-known photographers Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston, who ask her to pose for them in San Francisco. Since Kahlo was the daughter of a photographer, she was a natural in front of the camera. A local writer also pens a play about her and Rivera called “The Queen of Montgomery Street.”
This recognition adds to Frida’s growing artist persona and helped plant the seeds for her eventual rise to icon status.
But underneath her colorful garments, Kahlo’s body ached. At 18 she had suffered a horrific street car accident that severely damaged most of her body and exacerbated the chronic pain of her polio leg. Her long walks around San Francisco began to take a toll on her.
New Friends, New Places and New Ideas
That changed when she met Dr. Leo Eloesser, who would ultimately have a big impact on her life. Eloesser was the chief of thoracic surgery at San Francisco General Hospital and he went above and beyond to treat Kahlo’s foot and leg pain, even showing up at her doorstep when she’d miss her appointments.
Beyond his thorough care, he connected with Kahlo and Rivera on a creative level.
“Leo was a musician. He played viola and he would have weekly soirees at his flat. And so he was a doctor, but you could say he had the soul of an artist,” said Stahr.
The three of them even traveled around Northern California together. One time, Eloesser took Kahlo on her first plane ride. They flew from Oakland to Sacramento to meet up with Rivera who was busy sketching mines and dredgers for his “Allegory of California” mural. One of these excursions proved to be a major turning point for Kahlo’s art.
On a trip to Santa Rosa, Rivera and Kahlo visited the garden of the famous horticulturist Luther Burbank, known as “the wizard of horticulture.” He developed more than 800 varieties of fruits, vegetables and plants by cross breeding two kinds together.
Seeing how Burbank literally fused together two organisms to create something brand new mesmerized Kahlo. She applies Burbank’s hybrid technique to her art, and what comes out is a portrait of the horticulturist as part human and part tree trunk with roots connecting to his buried corpse.

“This is really her first major breakthrough creatively, in terms of creating a new style that was very different from what she’d been working on,” explains Stahr.
From this point on, Kahlo continued to play with imagery of roots, plants and hybrid bodies to portray themes of life and death. It’s a duality that was already part of her Mexican upbringing, says Stahr, but a visual style that was honed here in the Bay Area.
When Rivera completed his two murals in 1931, the couple briefly went back to Mexico before returning to the U.S. to paint in New York City and Detroit. But it wouldn’t be the last time they visited San Francisco.
Frida and Diego Take on San Francisco a Second Time
When they return a decade later, Kahlo and Rivera are divorced, and they arrive following dramatic circumstances.
First came Rivera, who fled Mexican authorities who wanted to question him about the attempted assassination of his former friend and exiled Russian revolutionary, Leon Trotsky.
Kahlo wasn’t so lucky. Months later, when Trotsky was actually assassinated, the police detained her for questioning, believing she was an accomplice. (Years prior, she and Rivera offered their Casa Azul to Trotsky and his wife for political asylum). The brief experience in jail left her traumatized.
“She was in a terrible emotional state. Physically, she wasn’t doing well. She complained of back and leg pain,” says Stahr.
In response, her doctors in Mexico advised her to undergo more surgeries. But her friend and trusted doctor, Leo Eloesser, didn’t agree. He felt her emotional health needed tending to, so he prescribed her a better diet, less drinking and advised her to reconcile with Rivera in San Francisco.
“[Eloesser] played this important role in their marriage. He was really the go between with their relationship,” explains Stahr.
Kahlo took his advice and when she arrived, she resided with Rivera at 42 Calhoun Terrace in Telegraph Hill before letting Eloesser admit her to St. Luke’s Hospital in the Mission District.
Meanwhile, Rivera was busy working on his largest single standing mural, known as the “Pan American Unity” mural. For months he and his assistants painted in front of a public audience at Treasure Island during the Golden Gate International Exposition. (Watch this video clip of Rivera and his team painting at Treasure Island.)
Once again, Rivera’s art sparked controversy. Not because he painted his communist politics but because he portrayed the cruelty of Nazi Germany. It was his way of urging the U.S. to intervene in World War II and protect all of the Americas, including Mexico.
When Kahlo was discharged from the hospital and felt physically and emotionally stronger, she and Rivera remarried at San Francisco City Hall on Rivera’s 54th birthday.
The Oakland Tribune snaps a photograph of the couple and this time acknowledges Kahlo as “an artist in her own right.”
“By 1940 she has achieved quite a bit. You might say she’s at the height of her career at that time,” says Stahr.
Her art was exhibited at the World’s Fair on Treasure Island, the Legion of Honor and landed in the hands of an important collector, Albert Bender, who was affiliated with San Francisco Museum of Modern Art — all things that helped give Kahlo wider exposure around the U.S.
“You have no idea how marvelous the city is, it helped me a lot to come because it opened my eyes and I’ve seen lots of swell new things,” wrote Kahlo to a friend.*
A Legacy That Keeps Evolving
As much as the Bay Area provided Kahlo and Rivera a platform to create and thrive, the couple also gave San Francisco a lasting blueprint for creativity.
“In fact, Coit Tower and the murals there emerge because of Diego’s influence,” says Stahr. Some of the Coit Tower muralists actually trained under Rivera, following in his footsteps by painting large-scale fresco murals that focus on workers and class issues.
His work also emboldened muralists at the Beach Chalet and UCSF. Ultimately, his patron’s desire for a mural movement to take off in San Francisco came to fruition.
Kahlo’s body of work also had a monumental impact on Bay Area artists, starting in the 1970s.
As many Chicanos and Latinos continued the fight for civil rights and representation, local artists like Amalia Mesa-Bains turned to Kahlo and Rivera’s art as a source of empowerment and cultural pride.
“We had experienced racism and discrimination and so we needed to reclaim our sense of belonging. Frida and Diego became in many ways models for us, that an artist could be at the same time political and cultural,” says Mesa-Bains.
Mesa-Bains and other Chicana/o artists were so moved by Kahlo’s complicated and bold art that they curated an exhibition called “Homenaje a Frida Kahlo” at the Galería de la Raza in 1978.
Artists created works inspired by Kahlo and those who personally knew the couple in San Francisco, such as Emmy Lou Packard, were invited to share memories of them.
This exhibit came at a time when there was very little published about Kahlo’s life and work, so it was seminal to introducing Kahlo to a wider audience before Frida-mania ensued.
Today, local artists continue to pay tribute to the two Mexican artists. Rio Yañez’s series, “Ghetto Frida,” imagines Kahlo as a sort of comic book character hanging out at various spots in the pre-gentrified Mission District. And the political ethos of street art in the Bay hearkens back to Rivera’s masterpieces.
In 2018, San Francisco city officials renamed a street after Frida Kahlo in front of City College of San Francisco’s main campus, also the permanent home of Diego Rivera’s “Pan American Unity” mural.
In what Kahlo called the “city of the world” the lasting brush strokes of Mexico’s most known artists are as vibrant as ever.

We do not want this contract to exist, and we do not want our labor to go towards aiding a genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Today, we’ll look into the deep ties between Israel and Silicon Valley and the tech workers hoping to sever them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The ties run broad and deep, and they have since the 1970s. Across a wide range of technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Rachael Myrow is senior editor of KQED Silicon Valley desk. How have you seen tech workers in Silicon Valley begin to organize against the tech industries ties to Israel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Well, it started on internal slack channels inside affinity groups that were in many cases, already issuing complaints to company management of feeling unheard or less seen than their Jewish or Israeli counterparts, or even retaliated against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>But of course, the organizing took off after Israel invaded Gaza on October 27th. And that’s when you started to see groups like No Tech for apartheid making a bigger noise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I know you spoke to someone who began organizing with no tech for apartheid. Can you introduce me to Hasan Ibraheem? Who is he and how long has he been working in tech?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The first thing you should know about Hasan is that he’s 23 years old. So, by his own admission, not that long out of college, his first job out of college at Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I worked on sort of like ads infrastructure. I do mainly like backend server work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>He’s there about a year and a half before this whole thing began with Israel and Gaza. So Hasan starts to get involved, with no tech for apartheid as the situation in Gaza escalates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>We don’t expect that any one of our actions is going to cause these companies to suddenly pull out of the deals that they have with Israel, but we hope that with each action that we do, we inspire more tech workers to speak out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And what kinds of actions was he organizing exactly or helping to organize?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Well, we know about him because he was involved in one of the sit ins that no tech for apartheid, staged recently in three different cities Sunnyvale, Seattle and New York. So he was involved in the New York sit in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Calling for an end to Project Nimbus, which is this $1.2 billion cloud services contract with the Israeli government, including the Ministry of Defense. So, the Israeli Finance Ministry described Project Nimbus as intended to provide the government, the defense establishment and others with an all encompassing cloud solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>There’s some highly disturbing reporting about the way that the Israeli Ministry of Defense is using artificial intelligence software to choose bombing targets in Gaza, which I should say has not been directly tied to Google or Amazon software per se, or Project Nimbus per se. But for the people in no tech for a part time, the smell of smoke suggests there could be fire somewhere in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>So the original contract was made in 2021. It was between Google, Amazon and Israel, and at the time no one could see the actual contract, but no one had the contract in hand to be like, yes, this contract is between the Israeli military and Google and Amazon until time magazine actually had a hold of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>No tech for apartheid is insisting that Amazon and Google here again, quote, stop doing business with Israeli apartheid and powering the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and following in the footsteps of those who fought to divest from apartheid South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>And one. It’s our responsibility to rise up in support of Palestinian freedom. The Amazon and Google execs who signed this contract can still choose to be on the right side of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>Google workers inside Google who have had enough of this. We do not want this contract to exist, and we do not want our labor to go towards aiding a genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Rachel, you reported on this story about why some of these demands by tech workers, these demands to divest from military contracts like this with Israel, why? That is such a tall order. Why is it a tall order?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>To be frank about it. Money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>And that’s because of what’s going on in Israel, not despite of what’s going on in Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So Guy Horowitz is Israeli. He’s been living in Palo Alto for the past six years, but he’s been a venture capitalist for the last 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>The essence of Silicon Valley, combining talent with technology and money. I think that’s the very basis of the Israeli Startup nation ethos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The two economies are joined at the hip by just about any business metric you can think of. How many Silicon Valley giants have purchased Israeli startups, how many Israeli startups have offices or even headquarters here? How many Israelis work here in the Bay area? How many Israelis are employed by Silicon Valley companies in Israel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So Israel wouldn’t be startup nation without Silicon Valley. But at the same token, it’s hard. To imagine Silicon Valley without Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What are some examples, Rachel, of the investments. Silicon Valley has in Israel right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So you have a ways, the satellite navigation software company that Google bought that for $1.3 billion in 2013. Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, California, bought Mellanox for about $7 billion roughly in 2019. And they recently announced plans to buy two more Israeli companies focused on AI. Intel, which is Israel’s largest private employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I mean, just sit with that fact for a moment. Largest private employer in Israel. That’s Intel, which is based over here. So, they bought, Mobileye, the autonomous driving company, for $15 billion in 2017. They’ve they’ve got, plans for a major semiconductor manufacturing facility in Israel, according to the United States Israel Business Alliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>California now serves as the global or U.S. headquarters for 35 Israeli founded unicorns. That’s Silicon Valley parlance for privately held companies valued at $1 billion or more. And those are just the big startups. There are hundreds of smaller startups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, how long has this relationship been going on?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Some economists say things really heated up in the 1990s. But most agree this really dates back to the 1970s, when U.S. companies, in particular, began to notice Israel’s tech and science universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>It became evident that Israel was developing for its own needs, technologies that were relevant for Silicon Valley and that came from military sources as well as from the research institutions that were kind of working, in tandem with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Technion, Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. And they started to notice some intriguing developments in things like agtech and biotech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The Intel 8088, the chip which Intel credits with launching it into the fortune 500. The list is long. And, you know, he acknowledges or even both says, as many Israeli investors do, that it’s all deeply tied with, Israel’s military culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>The deeper Israelis engage in conflict, then unfortunately, Israel has been in conflict for the past 76 years even more. The more value would be driven for. Israel on the economic side and for Silicon Valley as a counterpart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, that said, this actually isn’t the first time that tech and Google employees have lobbied against military related contracts, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I’m glad that you brought that up because that is the case. They’ve been successful in the past, right? Google employees have successfully lobbied to cancel military related contracts like Project Maven with the Pentagon and Project Dragonfly, which was a proposed version of Google search that would have allowed the Chinese government to censor and monitor users within China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So those are those are two examples where employees internally pressured the leadership to take a different direction. But but I think I should add something from my reporting, Ericka, which is that when it comes to company contracts, labor law, U.S. labor law firmly comes down on the side of the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The leadership has the legal right to decide the direction a company takes, with or without the approval of individual employees. So labor attorneys I talked to said, you know, if you don’t like it, you can attempt to pressure the company or leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I think you’re you’re kind of heading towards where I want to go next, Rachel, which is to the Google employees behind no tech for a part. I mean, you know, we have seen universities recently hired to the demands by student protesters to divest from Israel. But I guess, is it realistic to think that tech would do that\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>After the reporting for this story? I would argue it’s unlikely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So in a nutshell, I think it’s going to be a nonproductive effort, maybe even counterproductive effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Guy and other people like him that I’ve talked to, they don’t seem to be worried about divestment, at least from tech in the slightest. Ericka. And I don’t mean to suggest that these guys are the kind of people who don’t worry. They definitely worry about a lot of things, but not divestment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So whoever is saying divestment is a way to make Israel, reconsider its political or geopolitical stance on Palestine or whatever. But hey, the deeper the conflict is and the longer it goes would actually make Israel a more lucrative place to do business with for the next 20, 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>At the end of the day, Rachel, we are talking about private companies for whom profit is king. How does Hasan respond to this? Why protest anyway?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I think for Hasan, this is this is a moral issue. He sees a direct line from what’s happening right now in Gaza to write the corporate balance sheets of of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I would not be disappointed to stop working for a company that has an active, contract with the Israeli military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I think he feels powerfully, you know, not not in a egocentric or a naive way, that he’s in a very special position as somebody who works in tech. To call out what’s upsetting him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>We will continue to make noise about this. We will continue to make our voices heard. We will continue to educate our colleagues about what’s going on. And we’ll. Yeah, we’ll continue standing up for Palestine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What happened to Hasan and others who took part in those actions against Google that we were just talking about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>You know, in Hasan’s case, he says he and the fellow protesters in New York were about seven hours into their sit in when they were informed they’d been put on administrative leave, and then their badge access was taken away. Their corporate device is taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>9:30 p.m. almost ten hours in, the police arrived. So then the very calmly arrested us and escorted out of the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>About 24 hours later, he gets an email telling him he was terminated immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>And then the following Monday was when the rest of the 50 people were also fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So what’s next for him, Rachel? I mean, has this experience changed the way that he feels about being in the tech industry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Well, you know, he’s, he’s been spending a little time, regrouping with family. But he’s he’s back in it, back in, you know, the protests. He’s participating. He’s energized for the fight ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I’m going to continue on doing that. Going to look at what opportunities there are in terms of my next job, because obviously I’m gonna need a job at some point. But I’m going to be a lot more conscious when it comes to actually choosing what company I work for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I’ll tell you, I, I think I don’t want to speak for Hasan, but I think he recognizes that his problems with Google and its corporate sensibilities extend to other big tech companies. So he told me he might work for maybe a smaller tech firm, without these, you know, multinational contracts or or a nonprofit maybe that needs a software engineer. He’s got options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I want to make sure that my labor is actually going towards something I support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>We’re at a kind of an inflection moment. You know, it is a world where we’re asking, what kind of world do we want to live in, and how do we use or not use technology to help us get there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Rachel, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Rachael Myrow, senior editor of KQED Silicon Valley desk.

The Amazon and Google execs who signed this contract can still choose to be on the right side of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>Google workers inside Google who have had enough of this. We do not want this contract to exist, and we do not want our labor to go towards aiding a genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Rachel, you reported on this story about why some of these demands by tech workers, these demands to divest from military contracts like this with Israel, why? That is such a tall order. Why is it a tall order?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>To be frank about it. Money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>And that’s because of what’s going on in Israel, not despite of what’s going on in Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So Guy Horowitz is Israeli. He’s been living in Palo Alto for the past six years, but he’s been a venture capitalist for the last 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>The essence of Silicon Valley, combining talent with technology and money. I think that’s the very basis of the Israeli Startup nation ethos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The two economies are joined at the hip by just about any business metric you can think of. How many Silicon Valley giants have purchased Israeli startups, how many Israeli startups have offices or even headquarters here? How many Israelis work here in the Bay area? How many Israelis are employed by Silicon Valley companies in Israel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So Israel wouldn’t be startup nation without Silicon Valley. But at the same token, it’s hard. To imagine Silicon Valley without Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What are some examples, Rachel, of the investments. Silicon Valley has in Israel right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So you have a ways, the satellite navigation software company that Google bought that for $1.3 billion in 2013. Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, California, bought Mellanox for about $7 billion roughly in 2019. And they recently announced plans to buy two more Israeli companies focused on AI. Intel, which is Israel’s largest private employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I mean, just sit with that fact for a moment. Largest private employer in Israel. That’s Intel, which is based over here. So, they bought, Mobileye, the autonomous driving company, for $15 billion in 2017. They’ve they’ve got, plans for a major semiconductor manufacturing facility in Israel, according to the United States Israel Business Alliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>California now serves as the global or U.S. headquarters for 35 Israeli founded unicorns. That’s Silicon Valley parlance for privately held companies valued at $1 billion or more. And those are just the big startups. There are hundreds of smaller startups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, how long has this relationship been going on?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Some economists say things really heated up in the 1990s. But most agree this really dates back to the 1970s, when U.S. companies, in particular, began to notice Israel’s tech and science universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>It became evident that Israel was developing for its own needs, technologies that were relevant for Silicon Valley and that came from military sources as well as from the research institutions that were kind of working, in tandem with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Technion, Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. And they started to notice some intriguing developments in things like agtech and biotech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The Intel 8088, the chip which Intel credits with launching it into the fortune 500. The list is long. And, you know, he acknowledges or even both says, as many Israeli investors do, that it’s all deeply tied with, Israel’s military culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>The deeper Israelis engage in conflict, then unfortunately, Israel has been in conflict for the past 76 years even more. The more value would be driven for. Israel on the economic side and for Silicon Valley as a counterpart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, that said, this actually isn’t the first time that tech and Google employees have lobbied against military related contracts, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I’m glad that you brought that up because that is the case. They’ve been successful in the past, right? Google employees have successfully lobbied to cancel military related contracts like Project Maven with the Pentagon and Project Dragonfly, which was a proposed version of Google search that would have allowed the Chinese government to censor and monitor users within China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>So those are those are two examples where employees internally pressured the leadership to take a different direction. But but I think I should add something from my reporting, Ericka, which is that when it comes to company contracts, labor law, U.S. labor law firmly comes down on the side of the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>The leadership has the legal right to decide the direction a company takes, with or without the approval of individual employees. So labor attorneys I talked to said, you know, if you don’t like it, you can attempt to pressure the company or leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I think you’re you’re kind of heading towards where I want to go next, Rachel, which is to the Google employees behind no tech for a part. I mean, you know, we have seen universities recently hired to the demands by student protesters to divest from Israel. But I guess, is it realistic to think that tech would do that\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>After the reporting for this story? I would argue it’s unlikely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So in a nutshell, I think it’s going to be a nonproductive effort, maybe even counterproductive effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Guy and other people like him that I’ve talked to, they don’t seem to be worried about divestment, at least from tech in the slightest. Ericka. And I don’t mean to suggest that these guys are the kind of people who don’t worry. They definitely worry about a lot of things, but not divestment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guy Horowitz: \u003c/strong>So whoever is saying divestment is a way to make Israel, reconsider its political or geopolitical stance on Palestine or whatever. But hey, the deeper the conflict is and the longer it goes would actually make Israel a more lucrative place to do business with for the next 20, 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>At the end of the day, Rachel, we are talking about private companies for whom profit is king. How does Hasan respond to this? Why protest anyway?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I think for Hasan, this is this is a moral issue. He sees a direct line from what’s happening right now in Gaza to write the corporate balance sheets of of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I would not be disappointed to stop working for a company that has an active, contract with the Israeli military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I think he feels powerfully, you know, not not in a egocentric or a naive way, that he’s in a very special position as somebody who works in tech. To call out what’s upsetting him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>We will continue to make noise about this. We will continue to make our voices heard. We will continue to educate our colleagues about what’s going on. And we’ll. Yeah, we’ll continue standing up for Palestine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What happened to Hasan and others who took part in those actions against Google that we were just talking about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>You know, in Hasan’s case, he says he and the fellow protesters in New York were about seven hours into their sit in when they were informed they’d been put on administrative leave, and then their badge access was taken away. Their corporate device is taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>9:30 p.m. almost ten hours in, the police arrived. So then the very calmly arrested us and escorted out of the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>About 24 hours later, he gets an email telling him he was terminated immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>And then the following Monday was when the rest of the 50 people were also fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So what’s next for him, Rachel? I mean, has this experience changed the way that he feels about being in the tech industry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Well, you know, he’s, he’s been spending a little time, regrouping with family. But he’s he’s back in it, back in, you know, the protests. He’s participating. He’s energized for the fight ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I’m going to continue on doing that. Going to look at what opportunities there are in terms of my next job, because obviously I’m gonna need a job at some point. But I’m going to be a lot more conscious when it comes to actually choosing what company I work for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>I’ll tell you, I, I think I don’t want to speak for Hasan, but I think he recognizes that his problems with Google and its corporate sensibilities extend to other big tech companies. So he told me he might work for maybe a smaller tech firm, without these, you know, multinational contracts or or a nonprofit maybe that needs a software engineer. He’s got options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hasan Ibraheem: \u003c/strong>I want to make sure that my labor is actually going towards something I support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>We’re at a kind of an inflection moment. You know, it is a world where we’re asking, what kind of world do we want to live in, and how do we use or not use technology to help us get there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Rachel, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/strong>Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Rachael Myrow, senior editor of KQED Silicon Valley desk.

Although 79% of voting members supported authorizing a strike, voter turnout was low.

Isip said KQED is anticipating a third year of deficits in 2024. This year’s initial budget forecasted the shortfall at around $6 million, but a review at midyear showed the gap had grown by another $2 million.

And when we make choices, we look to the audience and see where they’re going for their news and information. And more and more of them are shifting to digital platforms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local news outlets across the country are facing similar choices, said UC Berkeley School of Journalism Dean Geeta Anand. The news industry has been in flux for the past 40 years — first as a response to the emergence of the Internet and, more recently, as social media and artificial intelligence have entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With changes in technology, so, too, have come “changes in how people consume journalism, changes in how the journalism industry gets its revenue, and also changes in how people are able to find and access journalism,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to take risks and make your best bets on things,” Anand said. “Hindsight is 20/20, so maybe some decisions [KQED] made didn’t turn out to be the right ones, but we’re all just figuring out how to chart a course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Public Radio, of which KQED is a member station, has seen its weekly listenership decline from 60 million in 2020 to 42 million in 2024 — a roughly 30% drop, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/business/media/npr-uri-berliner-diversity.html\">according to internal NPR data reported by the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED saw a similar reduction in weekly listeners, which fell from more than 734,000 in June 2021 to just over 546,000 last month — a 26% decline, according to Nielsen Audio. The station’s market share was 7.1% last month, a decrease from the 8.7% share held in June 2021 but an increase from last May, when the share dropped to 4.5%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the changes in listening habits can be traced to the pandemic, said Mike Janssen, digital editor at Current, a trade publication that covers public broadcasting. When more people began working from home, fewer people commuted in their cars, where they typically listened to the radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our routines changed, and a decline started in radio listening — not just for public radio but radio overall — that has not bounced back,” Janssen said. “There’s been a bit of a return, but it isn’t back to pre-2020 levels. And public radio is taking a brunt of this pretty badly, as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11832855/kqed-announces-layoffs-blames-coronavirus-pandemic-for-budget-shortfall\">KQED laid off 20 employees in 2020\u003c/a>, a roughly 5.5% reduction in staff, amid a steep decline in corporate sponsorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fiscal year 2021, KQED received a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan of $8.2 million and saw revenues rebound as more listeners began tuning in for coverage of the presidential election, KQED spokesperson Peter Cavagnaro said.

Isip said KQED is anticipating a third year of deficits in 2024. This year’s initial budget forecasted the shortfall at around $6 million, but a review at midyear showed the gap had grown by another $2 million. Isip said that forced the company to pivot to permanent staff reductions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unless we were to do something, the deficit would continue to grow,” he said. “We’ve been able to tap our reserves to fill the gap and give us a little bit of time, and that’s just not a sustainable approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one member of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-Communications Workers of America (NABET-CWA) Local 51 Chapter accepted the buyout, chapter President Carrie Biggs-Adams said. As of last week, the union was negotiating on behalf of a second member, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other union representing KQED employees, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), declined to comment for this story, citing “the ongoing, sensitive nature of the conversations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biggs-Adams blasted KQED’s leadership for recent programming decisions, including the elimination last year of the station’s only television news show, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11953890/kqed-newsroom-finale-saying-goodbye\">KQED Newsroom\u003c/a>. She characterized the move as short-sighted because, she said, television news is one area that has remained profitable for other stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“KQED doesn’t know who they are,” Biggs-Adams said. “They really have lost, to my mind, their mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isip defended the decision, saying viewership for the show had dropped to around 15,000 viewers a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, nobody feels as bad about it as I do,” about cutting the show, he said, noting that he came to KQED as the executive producer of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pressroom/category/thisweekinnortherncalifornia\">This Week in Northern California\u003c/a>, the television news show that predated KQED Newsroom. “But the reality is … we need to make some choices. And when we make choices, we look to the audience and see where they’re going for their news and information. And more and more of them are shifting to digital platforms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local news outlets across the country are facing similar choices, said UC Berkeley School of Journalism Dean Geeta Anand. The news industry has been in flux for the past 40 years — first as a response to the emergence of the Internet and, more recently, as social media and artificial intelligence have entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With changes in technology, so, too, have come “changes in how people consume journalism, changes in how the journalism industry gets its revenue, and also changes in how people are able to find and access journalism,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to take risks and make your best bets on things,” Anand said. “Hindsight is 20/20, so maybe some decisions [KQED] made didn’t turn out to be the right ones, but we’re all just figuring out how to chart a course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Public Radio, of which KQED is a member station, has seen its weekly listenership decline from 60 million in 2020 to 42 million in 2024 — a roughly 30% drop, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/business/media/npr-uri-berliner-diversity.html\">according to internal NPR data reported by the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED saw a similar reduction in weekly listeners, which fell from more than 734,000 in June 2021 to just over 546,000 last month — a 26% decline, according to Nielsen Audio. The station’s market share was 7.1% last month, a decrease from the 8.7% share held in June 2021 but an increase from last May, when the share dropped to 4.5%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the changes in listening habits can be traced to the pandemic, said Mike Janssen, digital editor at Current, a trade publication that covers public broadcasting. When more people began working from home, fewer people commuted in their cars, where they typically listened to the radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our routines changed, and a decline started in radio listening — not just for public radio but radio overall — that has not bounced back,” Janssen said. “There’s been a bit of a return, but it isn’t back to pre-2020 levels. And public radio is taking a brunt of this pretty badly, as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11832855/kqed-announces-layoffs-blames-coronavirus-pandemic-for-budget-shortfall\">KQED laid off 20 employees in 2020\u003c/a>, a roughly 5.5% reduction in staff, amid a steep decline in corporate sponsorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fiscal year 2021, KQED received a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan of $8.2 million and saw revenues rebound as more listeners began tuning in for coverage of the presidential election, KQED spokesperson Peter Cavagnaro said. Fundraising revenue benefited from higher donations, and KQED ended the year with a $22 million budget surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had nearly $60 million in contributions that year,” Cavagnaro said, “a number we have not since matched.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED membership peaked that same year at just over 250,000 before falling to 233,000 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"KQED Membership\" aria-label=\"Stacked Bars\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-n5AEY\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/n5AEY/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"401\" data-external=\"1\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, public radio stations have relied on their on-air pledge drives to fund operations.

Roughly 9% said they got their local news from a radio station, a number that was virtually unchanged from 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As consumption habits change, public radio stations are struggling to keep up, said Tim Eby, who was the general manager of St. Louis Public Radio until 2020 and \u003ca href=\"https://timjeby.substack.com/p/three-things-on-a-public-radio-major?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2\">continues to write\u003c/a> about trends in public media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, he said, is a tension between trying to reach new audiences while still maintaining public radio’s core listenership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one of the big challenges public radio is facing right now,” Eby said. “It is really creating some tension in terms of both the best way to reach audiences as well as the best way to operate from an efficiency standpoint.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Coverage ","tag":"layoffs"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Isip said KQED is devoting increased resources to its digital efforts, including expanding the company’s product team, which is responsible for developing its website, apps and other digital services.

However, housing advocates at the event said the city hasn’t consistently funded the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the need for rental assistance among seniors is growing: 18% of San Francisco’s 897,000 residents were seniors in 2020, but that is expected to jump to 26% by 2030, according to a Senior Operating Subsidy program policy brief authored by the city last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Peskin’s new charter amendment, the Housing Opportunity Fund would increase by $8.3 million a year for four years starting in 2026 but would be capped at $33 million in fiscal year 2029–2030. That would help pay rent for roughly 2,200 households, Peskin’s office estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Single seniors with a monthly income of $1,500 would qualify, as would single people with a disability making $1,493 monthly.

Since Kahlo was the daughter of a photographer, she was a natural in front of the camera. A local writer also pens a play about her and Rivera called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.si.edu/object/AAADCD_item_766\">The Queen of Montgomery Street\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recognition adds to Frida’s growing artist persona and helped plant the seeds for her eventual rise to icon status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But underneath her colorful garments, Kahlo’s body ached.

He played viola and he would have weekly soirees at his flat. And so he was a doctor, but you could say he had the soul of an artist,” said Stahr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three of them even traveled around Northern California together. One time, Eloesser took Kahlo on her first plane ride.

One of these excursions proved to be a major turning point for Kahlo’s art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a trip to Santa Rosa, Rivera and Kahlo visited the garden of the famous horticulturist Luther Burbank, known as “the wizard of horticulture.” He developed more than 800 varieties of fruits, vegetables and plants by cross breeding two kinds together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849000\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11849000 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1020x1424.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1020x1424.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-800x1117.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-160x223.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1100x1536.jpg 1100w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1467x2048.jpg 1467w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-scaled.jpg 1833w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo at the garden of Luther Burbank in Santa Rosa \u003ccite>(Luther Burbank Home & Gardens Collection--Sonoma County Library Digital Collections)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seeing how Burbank literally fused together two organisms to create something brand new mesmerized Kahlo.
