Granville Carroll will lead AZPA members through his curated exhibition and discuss all the amazing work presented. Reclaiming Hope: Afrofuturist Visions explores Black healing, remembrance and future building through visual art. Exhibition themes center around Afrofuturist concepts related to the imagination, dreaming, hope, beauty, technology and science-fiction. Selected artworks from local and national Black artists from various disciplines and media explore visions of the future that also connect with the past and present. Some artists focus on transforming past traumas to forge new futures, while others take an imaginative approach, envisioning new worlds and divine aspects of Blackness. Creating and responding to personal experiences and collective histories, these artists dare to dream of a world shaped by Black voices and healing. ------- All Images: © Granville Carroll About the Artist Granville Carroll, , a contemporary visual artist residing in Phoenix, Arizona, delves into the realms of photography and poetry to explore the intricate facets of representation and identity. Through his creative pursuits, Carroll seeks to unravel the multifaceted dimensions of blackness, encompassing spatial blackness, temporal blackness, and spiritual blackness. At the heart of his artistic journey lies an exploration of metaphysics, particularly examining the ontology of self and the cosmos. Carroll's practice shines a spotlight on the boundless imaginative capacities of the human mind, masterfully weaving narratives and constructing alternate speculative futures and states of existence. Carroll currently teaches at Arizona State University. He has been awarded a 2023 project support grant from the Center for Photographic Art, 2022 Top 50 Critical Mass, 2022 NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Photography and 2022 JGS Fellowship for Photography. He was named a 2021 Silver List artist and Project Space Visual Studies Workshop AIR. Carroll earned a BFA in photography from Arizona State University in 2018 and an MFA in photography and related media from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2020. His work has been shown across the United States and internationally. His work has been published through online platforms and printed media such as: Panorama Journal, KJZZ radio in Arizona, Fraction Magazine, What Will You Remember, Brink Literary Journal, Lenscratch, Humble Arts Foundation, Black Is Magazine and many others. Carroll’s images have recently appeared in Light and Lens: Thinking About Photography in the Digital Age (Robert Hirsch and Edward Bateman) and There’s Light: Artworks & Conversations Examining Black Masculinity, Identity & Mental Well-Being (Glenn Lutz).

The school is very beautiful, like a park, the campus is large, fully open campus, suitable for slowly playing, there are many places to eat inside, there are many places to rest, tired in the shade of the chair in a daze.
