Memory Making

I had the pleasure of attending the media event for the inauguration of the Frida Kahlo exhibition in Montreal. Frida Kahlo: Life of an Icon, is an incredible journey into the life of the world-renowned Mexican artist. Following unprecedented success in Spain, the exhibition will tour the US and Montreal…

The video below was made five years ago (time flies!). Guess what? We did it again this year! We hilariously thought we would go for a walk in the cold and lasted under 10 minutes at -30 degree weather. We decided we do not need to go out for long…
