Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere | Hayward Gallery | London

Art pieces revealing hidden stories and biases commemorate unsung trailblazers and lost cultural connections.
This first mid-career survey of New York-based Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan (b. 1979) showcases his inventive ways of celebrating overlooked explorers and cultural figures, highlighting histories obscured by bias.
The exhibition features monumental new sculptures, large-scale collages, neon works, bronze and ceramic sculptures, and mixed-media installations. Visitors embark on a playful yet impactful journey of discovery and recovery. Strachan illuminates stories of erasure and remembrance, shedding light on colonialism, racism, and the universal quest for belonging.
