Exploring Bain Town with Tavares Strachan: art, identity and the Arctic
Join conceptual artist Tavares Strachan on an autobiographical tour of Bain Town, The Bahamas, where his artistic journey began.
In this intimate exploration, Strachan delves into the roots of his creative process, offering an insight into the vibrant community that shaped his vision and the ideas that propelled him onto the international stage.
Discover the fascinating genesis of Strachan's early projects, including his daring exploration of the Arctic and his groundbreaking transportation of Arctic ice to The Bahamas for ‘The Distance Between What We Have and What We Want’.
Born in 1979 in Nassau, The Bahamas, Strachan currently lives and works between New York City and Nassau. He received a BFA in Glass from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University in 2006.
Strachan’s work draws on both the resources and community of his birthplace, dividing his time between his studio in New York and Nassau. In the Bahamian capital he has established an art studio and scientific research platform BASEC (Bahamas Aerospace and Sea Exploration Center) and OKU, a not-for-profit community project encompassing an artist residency and exhibition spaces, a scholarship scheme, and after-school creative programs.
Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere is at the Hayward Gallery until Sunday 1 September.
