Rochester-based artist Granville Carroll kicks off our annual Wish You Were Here series with a talk about his photographic works that conjure unknown cosmic universes, alien landscapes, and portals to alternate dimensions. Through the lens of Afrofuturism and Astroblack concepts, these digitally and physically manipulated images activate the imagination to reveal new realities and visions of the future as personal and collective origin stories.
Free to members, $10 nonmembers, $5 students
All guests will be required to wear a mask, and show proof of vaccination and ID.
Speakers will not be masked when they are at the podium.
Wish You Were Here is generously supported by Thomas N. Tischer, PhD.
