Oxy Live! Tavares Strachan in Conversation with Paul Holdengräber

Tavares Strachan's artistic practice activates the intersections of art, science, and politics. Themes of invisibility, displacement, and loss are central to his work, which questions historically canonized narratives that exclude or obscure others. Strachan’s ambitious, open-ended practice has included collaborations with numerous organizations and institutions across the disciplines.

He received a BFA in Glass from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University in 2006.
