Corita Kent: Heroes and SheroesNow Open Through December 29, 2019
| |
The late Corita Kent, formerly Sister Mary Corita, was an artist and teacher with an innovative approach to design, education, and messaging. By the 1960’s, her vibrant serigraphs were drawing attention for their thought-provoking and prevailing topics, combining art with social activism. Corita’s work reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war. Her messages of peace, hope, and social justice continue to resonate with audiences today. The Ali Center is proud to display a compilation of Corita’s work from 1969, all of which showcase her hope during a time of turmoil. The exhibit will be on display until December 29th.
Entry to the exhibition is included in the general admission price.
