About the Video
In Tavares Strachan’s “The Day Tomorrow Began,” Rice Grass Meadow becomes a landscape of remembrance, where ceramic portraits of Rita Marley, Nina Simone, and Andrea Crabtree rise from tufts of grass shaped as a Ghanaian Adinkra symbol. These figures evoke a lineage of resilience and devotion, their presence weaving together histories,memories, and enduring cultural legacy.

About the Program
The Hyundai Project: Art + Technology at LACMA supports exhibitions and programs that spark dialogue, inspire empathy, and encourage collaboration beyond boundaries. As a first step towards this goal, we supported the museum’s acquisition of major works by Robert Irwin and James Turrell, two now legendary artists who were members of LACMA’s original Art and Technology Lab program (1967–1971). Continuing its mission, The Hyundai Project: Art + Technology at LACMA presents exhibitions that illuminate the profound interplay between art and technology, underscoring their pivotal role in comprehending humanity and shaping our encounters with the future.
