“What became apparent to me,” the Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan said in a 2020 interview with Art Newspaper, “was that there is this whole world of invisibility that was in plain sight.” The world of invisibility he refers to is the tale of the Black diaspora, which began on ships heading west from Africa to rice fields and plantations in the Americas and beyond. And the blindness was not just about atrocities suffered but achievements ignored. Large-scale ceramic and bronze sculptures, ceramic figures, painting, text, and music are part of this immersive display. —Elena Clavarino
