Of Dawn Artist Panel Discussion

Granville Carroll, Stephanie J. Woods, and Raven Moffett, moderated by shauna caldwell

Friday, October 20 - 4:30PM to 5:30PM
River Center Studio Theatre (900 Broadway)

Join three of the artists featured in the exhibition Of Dawn for a discussion moderated by exhibition curator shauna caldwell.

Granville Carroll is a visual artist and Afrofuturist using photography and poetry to explore representation and identity. Carroll's work also explores the multidimensionality of blackness through spatial blackness, temporal blackness, and spiritual blackness. At the core of his practice is the investigation into metaphysics, specifically the ontology of self and the universe. Carroll's work highlights the imaginative qualities of the mind through storytelling and world building to create new speculative futures and states of being.

Stephanie J. Woods is a multimedia artist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she is an Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Art at the University of New Mexico. Working primarily in the fields of photography, fiber, video, and sculpture, she creates mixed-media works, handcrafting the props featured in her photographs. Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, she cultivates an artistic practice concerned with exploring Black American culture, identity, and the impact of involuntary cultural assimilation.

Raven Moffett (they/them) is an artist and art educator working on Tohono O'odham and Pascua Yaqui land in Tucson, AZ, with their partner and three canine companions: Odin, Jasper Shash, and Iinniiwaa. Raven is currently pursuing a PhD in American Indian Studies with a focus in Indigenous storytelling across mixed media. Raven graduated with an MFA in Studio Art focused on lens-based media (photography and video) from the University of Arizona, where they received their Certificate in Museum Studies concurrently. Raven received their BA in Art and Visual Culture with a studio art emphasis and an anthropology minor from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Their work has been exhibited in several shows in Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
