Instagram, ⚡🔋 Recharge with the work of Corita Kent, who would have turned 106 today!
Kent was an artist and educator who used her work to advocate for social justice. She joined the Immaculate Heart of Mary at age 18, later leading its college art department.
Over time, her art shifted from religious themes to incorporating ads, song lyrics, and social issues like poverty and racism. She left the order in 1968, moving to Boston, where her work took on a more introspective style influenced by her secular life and health struggles.
