Tavares Strachan (b. 1979, Nassau, Bahamas) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores invisibility, historical erasure, and the intersections of art, science, and politics. Known for ambitious projects like launching a satellite honoring Black astronaut Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., and transporting Arctic ice to the Bahamas, Strachan highlights overlooked narratives and challenges dominant histories. His Encyclopedia of Invisibility compiles thousands of forgotten figures and ideas. A MacArthur Fellow, he earned his MFA from Yale and lives between New York and Nassau, creating work that bridges imagination, discovery, and cultural memory.
