The Film
“I’m an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things”
At age 94, Betye Saar is finally receiving the recognition she deserves for her career spanning the last six decades. Hailed as a pioneer for her collages and assemblage art, and influential in the Black Arts Movement, Saar is known for reclaiming and remixing black history. BETYE SAAR: Ready to be a Warrior chronicles the life of Saar and focuses on a period of time (2014-2021) where she received unprecedented recognition in the contemporary art world. Art has become the family business.
