Held on November 20, Corita Kent’s birthday, at the Prior Performing Arts Center for \u201cMary\u2019s Day 1964 Reenactment (2023) \/ Food For Peace \/ Challenge to Change was organized by artist Roz Crews (@rozcrews) as part of the exhibition at the Cantor Art Gallery called \u201cAlways Be Around: Corita Kent, Community and Pedagogy\u201d curated by faculty member Rachelle Beaudoin. Through food, celebration, a parade, and speeches, this event was meant to further revolutionize Corita\u2019s original Mary\u2019s Day event into a celebration of gender inclusivity. Food brings us together, and with that togetherness, we aim for a wider embrace of LGBTQIA+ people. An extension of respect and dignity for all as the only approach to PEACE ON EARTH. Mary\u2019s Day celebration was an annual event at Immaculate Heart College where Corita Kent worked as a professor. Consisting of mass and a processional to honor the Virgin Mary, this tradition was transformed by Corita into a lively, colorful celebration meant to inspire and empower participants. She stated one goal of the event was to make Mary more relevant to contemporary times. Though no direct connection to the Women\u2019s movement was made, there were feminist undertones to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
