Place offerings to the altar-like sculpture Mti by Betye Saar
Tate curators and Collection Care will facilitate the addition of offerings to the altar-like sculpture Mti, 1973, by US artist Betye Saar in the collection displays. Inspired by ancestral connectedness, ritual objects and their spiritual power, Saar frequently invites audiences to engage with the work by leaving an offering, claiming that ‘Mti receives the power of accumulative personal energy’.
