Experience the Work of a Groundbreaking Pop Artist from the 60s
Sister Corita Kent was a nun who taught art at Immaculate Heart College, a Catholic girls' school in Los Angeles.
With her unique teaching methods, she fundamentally changed her students' perspectives and pursued new forms of art alongside them. Meanwhile, Corita created numerous serigraph (silk screen) works with powerful messages.
Currently, Corita's 1960s works are on display at two venues: 'kit gallery' and 'Tas Yard'. T-shirts, tote bags, posters, and catalogs are also available for purchase at the venues.
Why not visit both venues in Harajuku and Sendagaya to feel her powerful message?
