The Pan-African Inspiration for Let’s Get It On: The Wearable Art of Betye Saar [1RbUtN1unHl]

"Let’s Get It On: The Wearable Art of Betye Saar" was presented at the Neubauer Collegium in 2025 as part of a series of exhibitions and events linked to the Collegium's Panafrica project, a multi-year research initiative that explored the connections between Pan-African politics and culture. In this short video, University of Chicago Political Scientist Adom Getachew explores the Pan-African themes in Saar's work and revisits a crucial encounter she had with African material culture at the Field Museum in 1974.
