Tavares Strachan's new solo exhibition, *The Day Tomorrow Began*, has opened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Lacma), running until 29 March 2026. Co-organized with the Columbus Museum of Art, the show features 20 new works spanning neon, ceramics, bronze, painting, text, and performance, all centered on excavating invisible histories and challenging white-centric narratives. The exhibition includes a spotlight on Strachan's *Encyclopedia of Invisibility* (2018), a 2,000-page compendium of overlooked people and ideas, alongside bronze sculptures that reimagine public monuments through post-colonial and Haitian Revolutionary imagery.
The exhibition matters because it arrives at a moment of heightened censorship and surveillance, offering a defiant, expansive vision of a more equitable future. Strachan, who trained as a cosmonaut and has collaborated with MIT scientists, consistently pushes beyond conventional artistic boundaries, merging space exploration, Black history, and scientific research. His work also underscores the importance of institutional support for ambitious, multi-sensory storytelling, and his parallel projects—including a non-profit residency and a scientific research center in Nassau—demonstrate how artists can build lasting cultural infrastructure beyond the gallery.
