Скачать или смотреть Tavares Strachan's Black Star | a conversation with Hayward Gallery's Ralph Rugoff

Conceptual artist Tavares Stracahan and Hayward Gallery director Ralph Rugoff discuss Starachan’s breathtaking installation, Black Star (2024).

This awe-inspiring artwork features a huge model boat, floating on a temporary rooftop lake in the heart of London, here at our Hayward Gallery. It was created by the artist in homage to Marcus Garvey’s Black Star line, the first Black-owned shipping company, incorporated by the Jamaican politician and activist in 1919.

In this video, Strachan delves into the inspiration behind 'Black Star,' shedding light on Garvey's profound influence and enduring legacy which extended to later civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. You can also see the remarkable engineering involved in creating this large-scale installation, with footage capturing both the boat and a colossal stone head of Marcus Garvey, being craned across the iconic London skyline.

Tavares Strachan: There is Light Somewhere is at the Hayward Gallery until 1 September. Book now: www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/art-exhibitions/tavares-strachan-there-light-somewhere
