On this episode of our ‘Graphic Designers You Should Know About in 50 Seconds’ series, we explore the fascinating life and work of Corita Kent, an American artist, designer, educator, and activist whose bold and vibrant designs captured the spirit of social justice and love. Known as the ‘Rebel Nun,’ Kent combined faith and art in a way that resonated with the turbulence of the 1960s, using silkscreen printing.

Her vivid use of color, typography, and everyday symbols transformed traditional religious art, bringing it into the modern world with an activist edge. Her legacy is a reminder that design can be a powerful tool for positive change.
