Dilan Aydemir is a disabled visual artist from Turkey who works in multimedia. Her work is heavily influenced by the Mexican disability icon, Frida Kahlo. Employing the Tableau Vivant style, Aydemir recreates famous artworks by Frida Kahlo in short self-portrait videos, placing herself at the centre. Aydemir draws parallels between her lived experience as a disabled female artist and Kahlo’s, heavily referencing the internal struggle experienced by the latter about her identity as a disabled woman.
