Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began

(Los Angeles, CA—August 12, 2025) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began, the artist’s first major museum exhibition in Los Angeles. Introducing more than 20 new works—including the artist’s most expansive neon piece and one of his largest sculptures to-date—this multi-sensory exhibition spotlights Strachan’s excavation of histories that have been rendered invisible within mainstream narratives, particularly in relation to the Black diaspora. Weaving together sculpture, painting, text, and music, The Day Tomorrow Began transports visitors to unique environments ranging from uncanny everyday spaces to surreal landscapes. In these immersive spaces, Strachan invites his audience to rethink the ways in which we represent and discuss history, and more significantly, what histories we lionize.

LACMA’s presentation of The Day Tomorrow Began is curated by Diana Nawi, Curator of Contemporary Art at LACMA, and co-organized with the Columbus Museum of Art. The exhibition is made possible by The Hyundai Project at LACMA, part of the museum’s ongoing partnership with Hyundai Motor Company. Launched in 2015, this initiative is the longest and largest programmatic commitment from a corporate supporter in LACMA’s history.
