Not only does this intentionally intersectional creative marketplace center women and BIPOC artisans, but the collective proved to be an invaluable community resource during Winter Storm Uri. Founder and director TK Tunchez – a maker of gorgeous flower crowns, jewelry, and graphic design pieces – rallied the vendor team and their fans to provide no-questions-asked resources for folks in crisis. Frida Friday’s multicultural entrepreneurial space also spotlights local food and beverage businesses and DJs/musicians for events all over this weird city, and we’re pretty sure that Sra. Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón would be very proud of the art, and community work, indeed.
