While Corita never directly participated in the radical activities associated with many of her contemporaries of the religious left (figures such as Daniel Berrigan and groups like the Catonsville Nine), her heroes and sheroes works explicitly reflect the social and political movements of the decade, addressing topics such as Chicano awareness, civil rights, nuclear disarmament, and political assassinations while also incorporating imagery taken directly from mass media. Notable figures represented in this series include: Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King, Robert F. Kennedy, and Cesar Chavez.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f3a1ae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f3a1ae\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3d0d11\" data-id=\"d3d0d11\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3209fc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3209fc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"584\" height=\"540\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15988 lazyload\" alt=\"Corita Kent silkscreen\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM.png 584w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM-300x277.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"584\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15988 lazyload\" alt=\"Corita Kent silkscreen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM.png 584w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.54.49-PM-300x277.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-831a1cd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"831a1cd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df6997b\" data-id=\"df6997b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9e9f2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a9e9f2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Her DIY sensibility, teaching herself screenprinting, inspired by the pop art movement of the early 1960s, is especially exciting, although she also was influenced by medieval art and abstract expressionism.
