The article highlights a conversation with Nellie Scott about the Corita Art Center, which celebrates the life and work of Corita Kent. Scott reflects on Kent's legacy in advocating for social justice and her artistic journey from entering religious life to becoming a prominent activist and artist. Despite the progress, Scott notes the ongoing challenges society faces today, reaffirming the importance of Kent’s teachings and artworks as they resonate in current times. The podcast episode emphasizes the need to revisit Corita's messages amid political turmoil and social disparity.
I wish Corita Kent's work had already done its work, that the world was free of oppression, racism, inequality, chaos and fear.
Her art, and her life, was devoted to finding a deep understanding of the human experience, through teaching and creating.
