About the artist:
Tavares Strachan’s conceptual, interdisciplinary practice activates connections between art, history, science, and cultural critique to mobilize our senses, intellect and curiosity, asking us to reconsider our received knowledge of the world.
Growing up in the Bahamas, Strachan spent his youth looking into the night sky, which would fuel his obsession with space and exploration. Themes of invisibility, displacement, and loss are central to his work, which questions historically canonized narratives that marginalize or obscure others. He uses the rubric of received knowledge to make networks and structures of power more visible, and to bring to light forgotten or little-known historical epics and human achievements. Aeronautical exploration, expeditions to desolate locations and extreme environments, and allegories of the human aspiration to surmount mortal limitations and adverse circumstances, are some of his settings for telling lost stories and stories of the invisible.
