About the Video
The Barbershop, rendered in deep black, becomes a space of memory and quiet reckoning where care is ritual, and identity is shaped across generations. Bronzes, ceramic vessels, and “Mind Field” paintings gather like witnesses, holding stories braided into the body. In Tavares Strachan’s The Day Tomorrow Began, the textures of Black hair
care pulses with history and possibility, inviting us to listen closely to what the heart still dares to ask, and what the future quietly holds.

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.
