Tavares Strachan In Total Darkness

Bahamian-born artist Tavares Strachan’s In Total Darkness engages with French colonialism through an investigation of the Haitian Revolution, the first victorious revolt of Black enslaved people. Through his immersive and site-specific exhibition, which incorporates mixed-media and multilayered sculptural works, Strachan summons a large spectrum of historical and cultural references. In doing so, Strachan questions our presumed and popular knowledge of history.
