@Tavares Strachan
Tavares Strachan was born in Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas.
Initially a painter, Strachan earned his Associate of Fine Arts degree from the College of the Bahamas in 1999. After completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003, Strachan went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from Yale University
His work is a multidisciplinary artistic practice. Aeronautical and astronomical science, deep-sea exploration, and extreme climatology are some of the themes Strachan explores, underlining human stories of struggle, cultural displacement, aspiration, and mortal limitation
On December 3, 2018, Strachan launched his project ENOCH into space. Created in collaboration with LACMA Art + Technology Lab, ENOCH is centered around the development and launch of a 3U satellite that brings to light the forgotten story of Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., the first African American astronaut selected for any national space program.
This isn’t the first time Strachan has teamed up with elite scientists. For years he has been working on an ambitious and highly secretive project with SpaceX, the Elon Musk-founded space exploration research facility.
