Next month, CMA at The Pizzuti is excited to present “Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began,” the first major museum exhibition of the pathbreaking conceptual artist Tavares Strachan (b. 1979, Nassau, Bahamas).

Opening May 16, 2026, and on view until January 3, 2027, the exhibition brings together nearly a decade of work across Strachan’s multidisciplinary practice, encompassing sculpture, painting, neon texts, and music. The survey includes Strachan’s “Bar Room” (2022/2025), a participatory installation that functions as a fully operational rum bar and café, which will remain permanently installed at The Pizzuti following the exhibition’s closing.

Co-organized by CMA and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), “The Day Tomorrow Began” offers an immersive exploration of Strachan’s oeuvre, marked by a rigorous and poetic inquiry into knowledge systems, forms of historical memory, and spaces of communal belonging. The exhibition invites visitors to explore a sequence of carefully staged environments, including a barbershop, a field of rice grass, and a hall of monuments, each of which challenges the conventions of museum display, while also calling into question hierarchies of visibility and invisibility. The exhibition’s footprint also extends to the atrium of CMA’s Broad Street campus, where visitors will encounter Strachan’s “In Praise of Midnight (Christophe x Napoleon)” (2025), a twenty-foot-tall double equestrian statue that conjoins French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte with Haitian revolutionary leader Henri Christophe.

“Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began” is on view at CMA at The Pizzuti from May 16, 2026–January 3, 2027.
