You Belong Here Tavares Strachan Print

You Belong Here (Silkscreen), 2019

“You Belong Here” is both an affirmation and a call to action. Sculptures bearing Strachan’s message have been installed in his signature neon calligraphy at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, Sparkman Wharf in Tampa, FL, and on a 140 ft-long barge that travelled around New Orleans on the Mississippi River. The phrase exists as a declarative statement, a performance, a sculpture, and a form of community development.

"You Belong Here" uses a seemingly straightforward phrase to evoke dialog about the historical undercurrents present throughout the city. Who gets to determine belonging and if so, then where? The phrase is an affirmation and a veiled question that in referencing a reclamation of belonging that asks us to reimagine how we define place—and this place in particular.
