KPBS REPORTER KATIE ALVARADO IS THERE AND HAS EXCLUSIVE DETAILS.

>> Reporter: COMMUNITY ADVOCATES STOOD IN FRONT OF THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS AND TALKED ABOUT THE CODE OF SILENCE MANY BELIEVE EXIST IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CLAIM TO HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT.

>> THE BLUE WALL OF SILENCE WITHIN THIS LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT IS REAL.

EVEN MORE ALARMING IS THAT OFFICERS ARE BOLDLY INSTILLING FEAR IN OTHER OFFICERS.

>> SOMEONE PLACED A CUSTOM-MADE STICKER, WHICH DEPICTS A CROISSANT IMAGE OF A RAT AND A BLUE FALCON ON THE INTERIOR SIDE OF A BATHROOM DOOR.

THESE TERMS AND IMAGES ARE USED TO INTIMIDATE OFFICERS WHO WANT TO REPORT POLICE CORRECTION.

THE STICKER HAS BEEN POSTED FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL MONTHS ON THE BATHROOM DOOR.

THIS BATHROOM IS IN THE PORT BELOW US.

>> Reporter: WILLIAMSON SAID THE BATHROOM IS FOR OFFICERS ONLY AND ASKED FOR AN INDEPENDENT SYSTEM TO REVIEW THE OFFICERS COMPLAINTS.

>> HOW CAN THERE BE A REAL SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IF OFFICERS ARE AFRAID OF ROGUE OFFICERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE AFRAID OF ROGUE OFFICERS, AND MANAGEMENT IS NOT EFFECTIVELY DEALING WITH ROGUE OFFICERS?

I WANT THE STICKERS REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

I HAVE NOTIFIED THE CITY CHIEF AND THEY SHOULD LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION.

>> Reporter: AFTER THE NEWS CONFERENCE, THE GROUP WENT DOWN AND RANG THE WATCH COMMANDER.

COMING UP, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND WHY IT IS BACK ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER.

>>> WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON THE SPIKE IN FLU AND RSV CASES HERE IN SAN DIEGO AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

NOW COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT TRIPLE THREAT OF ILLNESSES THIS FALL AND WINTER.

WHILE COVID-19 CASES ARE TRENDING DOWN, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY ALL THREE VIRUSES GOING AROUND AT THE SAME TIME COURT STRAINED THE REGIONS HOSPITAL'S.

THERE IS NO VACCINE FOR RSV BUT AMPLE VACCINATIONS FOR THE FLU AND COVID-19.

>> VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE FLU SHOT AND PROTECT YOURSELF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

IT DOES TAKE ABOUT TWO WEEKS FOR THE FLU SHOT TO WORK JUST AS IT TAKES ABOUT TWO WEEKS FOR THE COVID-19 VACCINES TO PROTECT TO.

IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO TO GO ON THE TRIP OR YOU ARE PLANNING SOMETHING WHEN YOU ARE AROUND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE, MAKE SURE THAT TWO WEEKS BEFORE HAND TO GET YOUR VACCINES.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL AFTERWARDS.

>> DOCTORS SAY COVID-19 AND THE FLU VACCINES ARE SAFE TO GET AT THE SAME TIME BUT SO FAR ONLY ABOUT 60% OF ALL ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS OF SAN DIEGO HAVE RECEIVED BOOSTER SHOTS.

>>> NEW INFLATION DATA AND SO IS PRICES REMAIN ON COMFORTABLY HIGH DESPITE ACTION FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE TO REIN IN DECADES HIGH INFLATION.

THE HOUSING MARKET ALSO TAKING A HIT AS MORTGAGE RATES CLIMBED AGAIN.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO REASSURE AMERICANS THAT A RECESSION IS NOT AROUND THE CORNER.

AS GLORIA PASHMINA REPORTS, THOUGH STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET FEEL THE REALITY IS DIFFERENT.

>> INFLATION IS ON EXCEPT FOR THE HIGH-END AMERICANS FEEL THAT EVERYDAY.

>> EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: AS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HEADED TO THE POLLS TO VOTE IN MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND THE CENTRAL BANK IS DUE TO MEET TO DISCUSS ANOTHER POTENTIAL RATE HIKE THERE IS CONTINUED CONCERN FROM CONSUMERS ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECESSION.

MORTGAGE RATES INCREASED YET AGAIN THIS WEEK, TOPPING 7% FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2002.

THE 30 YEAR FIXED-RATE MORTGAGE AVERAGE 7.08% THIS WEEK.

COMPARE THAT TO THE RATE A YEAR AGO WHEN THE 30 YEAR FIXED RATE STOOD AT 3.14%.

MEANWHILE, AMERICANS ARE FEELING THE PINCH.

>> I DO HAVE BILLS THAT HAVE TO BE PAID.

THOSE HAVE TO BE PAID.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THERE TO BE AN INCLUSIVE ARENA FOR FREE SPEECH.

>> Reporter: IT IS OFFICIAL, ELON MUSK NOW OWNS TWITTER.

HE HAS ALREADY FIRED THREE TOP EXECUTIVES, ACCORDING TO TWO SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE DECISION.

SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR USERS?

THE ANSWER COULD START WITH MONEY.

>> ELON MUSK IS PAYING A PRETTY HEFTY PRICE.

>> Reporter: ABOUT $44 BILLION, TO BE PRECISE.

THE OWNER OF TESLA AND SPACEX COMPLETED THE PURCHASE LAST NIGHT.

>> TWITTER HAS CHALLENGES AS A GROWTH PLATFORM.

THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO SECOND BIDDER.

>> Reporter: BEFORE THE FINAL DEAL, ANALYST DAN IVESTER SPECULATED ON HOW ELON MUSK COULD EARN BACK HIS MONEY.

HE SAYS TWITTER MIGHT LEVERAGE ADVERTISING AND COULD BECOME A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE.

USERS ALSO MIGHT NOTICE THIS DIFFERENCE.

>> WE WANT TO BE JUST VERY RELUCTANT TO DELETE THINGS, JUST BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH BANDS.

TIMEOUTS I THINK ARE BETTER.

>> Reporter: ELON MUSK TWEETED A STATEMENT SAYING HE PLANS TO IMPOSE CONSEQUENCES ON PEOPLE WHO MISUSE THE PLATFORM BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT THAT MEANS.

>> WHEN HE SAYS HE BELIEVES IN FREE SPEECH, DOES HE TAKE CARE OF THAT?

DOES HE GET RID OF THE N-WORD THAT I AM OFTEN CALLED?

>> Reporter: WHEN IT COMES TO TWITTER BANDS, SOME WONDER ABOUT ONE USER IN PARTICULAR.

>> WILL DONALD TRUMP COME BACK?

>> Reporter: THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

I'M AMY KILEY REPORTING.

>>> AS EVERY X-FILES FAN NOTICE, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

SOON, IT WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF CONGRESS.

INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE SET TO DELIVER A CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT ON THE STATUS OF UFOs.

ISABEL ROSALES EXPLAINS THE POTENTIAL ANSWERS.

>> Reporter: SCIENCE STRANGER THAN FICTION.

THESE ARE VERY REAL IMAGES FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OF AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT.

MORE OFFICIALLY, UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENA SPOTTED BY PILOTS, INCLUDING RETIRED LIEUTENANT COMMANDER ALEX DIETRICH.

>> INTERSTATE LEFT.

>> Reporter: OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO BACK IN 2004.

>> AND WAS WHITE WITH A MATTE FINISH, JUST LIKE A TICTAC.

IT BEHAVED IN A WAY THAT WE WERE SURPRISED, UNNERVED.

IT ACCELERATED, ALMOST DIDN'T ACCELERATE.

IT SORT OF JUMPED FROM SPOT TO SPOT AND TUMBLED AROUND IN A WAY THAT WAS UNPREDICTABLE.

>> Reporter: REPORT MADE PUBLIC LAST YEAR SAYS THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THE SIGHTINGS WERE EXTRATERRESTRIAL.

BUT, THEY DETAILED HOW LITTLE WAS KNOWN ABOUT SIGHTINGS LIKE THIS.

NASA HAS ANNOUNCED ITS OWN INDEPENDENT STUDY AND NOW CONGRESS IS SET TO RECEIVE AN UPDATED REPORT FROM THE PENTAGON AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES.

WHILE IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH OF THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES WE WILL FIND MOST OF THE CASES ARE RANDOM JUNK IN THE SKY LIKE BALLOONS OR SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITY.

>> THEY ARE SEEING SOMETHING AND SAYING THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THAT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON GO OF, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT HERE.

>> Reporter: ORDINARY ANSWERS TO AN EXTRAORDINARY QUESTION.

ISABEL ROSALES, KPBS NEWS.

>>> KIDNEY DIALYSIS IS BACK ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER.

PROPOSITION 29 WOULD REQUIRE A DOCTOR, NURSE PRACTITIONER, OR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT BE ON SITE DURING TREATMENT.

>> Reporter: IT WAS ON THE BALLOT IN 2018, 2020 AND IT IS HERE AGAIN.

CALIFORNIANS WILL ONCE AGAIN WEIGH IN ON A KIDNEY DIALYSIS MEASURE.

I'LL EXPLAIN.

I ANNA YBARRA, REPORTER FOR CAL MATTERS.

THIS MEASURE WOULD REQUIRE CLINICS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE PHYSICIAN, NURSE PRACTITIONER, OR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT ON SITE, OR IN SOME CASES, REMOTELY AVAILABLE.

THE INITIATIVE WOULD ALSO REQUIRE CLINICS TO REPORT DIALYSIS -RELATED INFECTIONS TO THE STATE AND LIST PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE FINANCIAL INTEREST IN CLINICS.

THE MEASURES PROPONENT, THE HEALTH WORKERS UNION, ARGUES THAT PROP 29 WOULD IMPROVE PATIENT CARE AND INCREASE TRANSPARENCY.

DESPITE ITS TWO PREVIOUS LOSSES, THE UNION SAYS IT REMAINS COMMITTED TO REFORMING AN INDUSTRY DOMINATED BY LARGE, FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES.

THE OPPOSITION CAMPAIGN SUPPORTED BY CALIFORNIA'S DR.

LOBBY, AMONG OTHER MEDICAL GROUPS AND FINANCED BY DIALYSIS GIANTS SAY THE SUPPORT OF THE LABOR GROUPS ONGOING FIGHT TO ORGANIZE DIALYSIS WORKERS.

THEY SAY HAVING ANOTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL ON-SITE IS AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE THAT COULD LEAD SOME CLINICS TO CUT THEIR HOURS OR SHUTDOWN, POTENTIALLY HURTING PATIENT ACCESS.

VOTE YES IF YOU WANT MORE RULES FOR DIALYSIS CLINICS.

DON'T KNOW IF YOU DON'T.

ORGANIZERS ANNOUNCED TODAY IT HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE OF, "UNPRECEDENTED STAFFING, LOGISTICS, AND SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES APPEAR TO" THE PARADE HELD THE SUNDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING DATES BACK TO 1947.

THE LAST TWO YEARS WERE VIRTUAL BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

NOW, THEY ARE PLANNING TO MAKE A COMEBACK IN 2023.

>>> LET'S START WITH THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME BIG CHANGES.

AS WE WRAP UP THE WEEK AND HEAD INTO YOUR HALLOWEEN WEEKEND, THINGS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER AS WE APPROACH HALLOWEEN.

WE ARE DEALING WITH PATCHY, LOW CLOUDS AND THE OFFSHORE BREEZE IN THE FOOTHILLS.

THAN A BIG PATTERN CHANGE ON THE WAY NEXT WEEK THAT WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES, CLOUDS, AND EVENTUALLY SOME RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW AND WINDY CONDITIONS AS WE GO THROUGHOUT MID NEXT WEEK.

HEADING INTO TONIGHT, WE ARE DOWN TO ABOUT 48.

OCEANSIDE, NOT BAD.

SAN DIEGO DROPS TO ABOUT 57.

MOUNT LAGUNA AT ABOUT 42.

LOOKING AT WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FOR SATURDAY AS THINGS STAY PRETTY PLEASANT, IT WILL BE A LITTLE BREEZY AT THE GHOST.

AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS, COOLER AIR DOES CONTINUE ON SATURDAY.

HOW ABOUT FOR US?

LOOKING AT 77.

ESCONDIDO LOOKING AT 72.

SAN DIEGO, OCEANSIDE ABOUT 73.

REIKO SPRINGS STILL LIES AT 84.

MOUNT LAGUNA AROUND 64 WITH A LOT OF SUNSHINE FOR YOUR SATURDAY.

THEN, SUNDAY, NOT A HUGE CHANGE.

WE ARE STILL DRY AND SUNNY.

STILL DEALING WITH SOME OF THE PRETTY BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST AS WE WRAP UP OUR WEEKEND.

LOOKING AT THE FIVE-DAY FORECAST, TEMPERATURES STAKE IN THE 70s AND THE WEEKEND.

THE START OF NEXT WEEK, NOTICE HOW MUCH COOLER WE ARE BY WEDNESDAY, A HIGH OF ONLY 63.

YOU WILL SEE A SIMILAR PATTERN IN THE VALLEY.

77 ON SATURDAY.

WARMER SUNDAY AND MONDAY IN THE 80s.

THEN WE SEE A SHARP TEMPERATURE DROP TUESDAY.

70.

THEN, WEDNESDAY AND AFTERNOON SHOWER.

ONLY 60 DEGREES.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS, LIKE THIS.

64 OR SATURDAY.

67 ON SUNDAY.

WE KEEP THE 60s AROUND ON MONDAY.

TUESDAY, THOUGH, 50s.

VERY WINDY CONDITIONS MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER IN THE DESERT.

WE GO FROM THE 80s TO THE 60s BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M METEOROLOGIST AREA AESCHYLUS.

>>> DOWNTOWN CHULA VISTA IS PREPARING TO HOLD A DEITY LIST WITH THOSE CELEBRATION.

THERE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF THE CORNER OF DAVIDSON.

SHOPS ARE OFFERING TRADITIONAL BUNDLES OF FLOWERS USED FOR AUTHORS AS WELL AS BRETT OF THE DEAD.

>> IT IS PUT THERE TO BE ABLE TO NOURISH OUR LOVED ONES WHO HAVE PASSED ON.

>> I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WOULD ALWAYS DIP IT IN MY HOT CHOCOLATE.

DELICIOUS.

>> THE EVENT IS FREE AND WILL BE HELD FROM 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON THROUGH 8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT.

>>> IF YOU PICK UP SOME HALLOWEEN CANDY THIS WEEKEND, IT WILL COST A BIT EXTRA.

THAT IS NOT STOPPING PEOPLE FROM CELEBRATING.

MIRO COPIC HAS THE NUMBERS IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> CANDY PRICES ARE UP DRAMATICALLY THIS YEAR.

RACE INCREASES RANGE FROM ABOUT 7% TO OVER 40%.

CONSUMERS ARE GOING TO SPEND OVER $100.00 ON HALLOWEEN CANDY ALONE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING FOR YOUR FAVORITES, IF YOU LIKE SKITTLES OR STARBURST, YOU WILL GET A 35% OR MORE PRICE INCREASE.

ALMOST 70% OF CONSUMERS ARE PLANNING TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN IN SOME WAY WITH GUSTO, GOING TO PARTIES, GIVING OUT CANDY, CARVING PUMPKINS.

AND, THE NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION SAYS THAT CONSUMERS ARE GOING TO SPEND $10.6 BILLION ON HALLOWEEN.

WHAT IS INTERESTING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COSTUME CATEGORY, 700 MILLION OF THAT 3.6 BILLION IS ON COSTUMES FOR PETS.

HALLOWEEN SALES HAD BEEN DECLINING PRE-PANDEMIC.

AFTER THE PANDEMIC, IN 2021, WE SAW A BIG JUMP IN WHAT PEOPLE WERE SPENDING BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO REENGAGE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS ANOTHER INCREASE IN TOTAL SPEND.

I THINK IF WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

>>> SAN DIEGO F THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE LAST STREAM OF FRIDA AND DIEGO TOMORROW.

THE NEW SPANISH-LANGUAGE OPERA EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ICONIC MEXICAN ARTIST FRIDA KAHLO AND DIEGO RIVERA.

>> Reporter: THE LAST DREAM OF FRIDA AND DIEGO IS NOT JUST A WORLD PREMIERE BUT THE CULMINATION OF AN IDEA THAT BEGAN 15 YEARS AGO FOR POSER GABRIELLA LENA FRANK.

>> I HEARD A PIECE GABRIELLA HAD COMPOSED, WHICH THE THEME IF IT WAS THE DAY OF THE DEAD.

WHEN I HEARD THE PIECE AND HURT THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC I SAID THAT IS AN ENTRY INTO THIS WORLD.

WE SHOULD NOT DO A BIOPIC OF DIEGO AND FRIDA KAHLO BUT PERHAPS FRIDA COMING BACK TO THE WORLD ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD.

>> SETTING THEIR LIVES IN THE CONTEXT OF DAY OF THE DEAD IT'S SO MUCH MORE FOR US TO ARTISTICALLY GRAB ONTO.

THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF FANTASY, AN ELEMENT OF FICTION THAT IS MORE REAL THAN THE NONFICTION AS A RESULT.

YOU HAVE TO STRETCH AS AN ARTIST.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO IMAGINE A UNIVERSE THAT DOESN'T REALLY EXIST BUT SEEMS VERY AUTHENTIC.

>> WE WERE SURE WE WANTED TO CREATE OUR OWN VISION OF THIS STORY.

SO, WE WENT TO OKAY, WHAT IS FOR US DIA DE LOS MUERTOS?

WHAT IS FRIDA AND DIEGO FOR US NOW?

>> THE DRAMATIC TRIGGER OF THE STORY IS DIEGO'S LAST DAY ON EARTH.

DIEGO RIVERA IS SICK AND HE IS DYING.

THREE YEARS AFTER FRIDA KAHLO'S DEATH.

HE COMES TO THE GRAVE AND DIA DE LOS MUERTOS TO INVOKE A FRIDA KAHLO TO CALL HER BACK AND HELP HIM CLASS TO THE UNDERWORLD, THE AZTEC UNDERWORLD.

FRIDA, WHEN SHE DIED, SHE WAS LIKE OKAY, READY TO GO AND I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK.

SHE DEALS WITH THIS AND DOESN'T WANT TO COME BACK FOR DIEGO.

>> THEN KATRINA, A FOLKLORIC FIGURE, ARRIVES TO COAX FRIDA.

>> HE'S A SICK, HE IS DYING, HE IS AFRAID.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL IN THE STORY.

THERE WAS SOME CATEGORY, SOME CHARACTER THAT IS LEONARDO THAT IS CONVINCES HER TO GO BACK TO BE A PAINTER AGAIN, TO REGAIN THE COLORS TO REGAIN HER IDENTITY AS A PAINTER.

WHAT WE DECIDED VERY CONSCIOUSLY IS NOT TO USE TECHNOLOGY BUT TO GO INTO A VERY PICTORIAL STYLE.

WE HAVE FRAMES ALL OVER THAT REALLY REMIND US OF THE PAINTING, THE WAY THEY PAINTED.

SHE JUST PAINTED HER REALITY.

THAT WAS LIKE AMAZING.

PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS SURREALISM BUT IT WAS NOT.

SHE WAS VERY ORIGINAL IN THAT SENSE.

WHEN YOU SEE A PAINTING OF HER, IT IS LIKE SHE IS TELLING US A STORY ABOUT THAT MOMENT IN HER LIFE.

SHE PAINTED HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY ALWAYS APPEARED YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF FRIDA'S MOST ICONIC PAINTINGS IN THE COSTUMES, WHICH IS, TO ME, MEETING.

>> FRIDA CALLER RETURNS TO THE DEAD WITHOUT THE PAIN SHE EXPERIENCED IN THE REAL WORLD FROM A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AND DOZENS OF SURGERIES.

SHE REENTERS THE WORLD OF THE LIVING WITH A WARNING.

>> DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH DIEGO.

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH YOUR PAINTING BRUSHES.

YOU CANNOT DO THAT.

IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL FEEL THE AGONY AGAIN.

>> PAIN DEFINED FRIDA KAHLO'S LIFE AND HER ART.

>> YOU WILL BE A BLESSING THAT AND THE RELATIONSHIP SHE HAS ON STAGE IN THIS OPERA WITH THE PAINTINGS IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

THE MOMENT SHE FINDS THE EASEL, SHE RELEASES THE PAIN BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THEN THAT SHE CAN REGAIN HER IDENTITY AS A PAINTER.

IT IS THE PAIN THAT REALLY WAS HER INSPIRATION.

SHE WAS NEVER A VICTIM.

SHE WANTED NOBODY TO KNOW SHE WAS DEALING WITH A LOT OF PAIN.

SHE DID NOT FIGHT HERSELF THROUGH HER PAINTING.

SHE WAS SO STRONG.

HER WILL TO LIVE AND HER JOY OF LIFE ONE IS HUGE.

>> SO WAS HER INFLUENCE.

25 DIED ALMOST 7 DECADES AGO, GET HER ART REMAINS A LIFE IN POP CULTURE, WHERE THE ACTIONS OF FEMININE L.E.D., SEXUALITY AND DISABILITY ALL SEEM STRIKINGLY RELEVANT.

>> WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT EVERY NEW GENERATION TAKES HER IMAGE AND MAKES IT THEIR OWN AGAIN AND AGAIN.

>> SAN DIEGO OPERA IS POISED TO INTRODUCE ITS FRIDA KAHLO TO THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND IN A NEW SPANISH-LANGUAGE OPERA THAT SINGS THE PRAISES OF MEXICO'S ICONIC ARTIST.
