The Awakening exhibition was inspired by the life and work of activist Marcus Garvey. Almost a century later, Strachan acknowledges Garvey’s profound influence on history, as well as his personal importance to the Bahamian born artist. Drawing on influences that span from music to sports, culture and science, Strachan applies a dub aesthetic within his practice to create works that invert the trans-Atlantic story.
