Originally from the California Bay Area and previously living in New York City and Beijing, Adriel is currently based in Washington DC as the Curator of Digital and Emerging Media at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. He is also a part of digital funk band iLL-Literacy, a founding curator for OneBeat – a U.S. State Department initiative that engages artists from dozens of countries to convene in cultural diplomacy through music, and artistic director of Bombshelltoe – an online platform dedicated to bridging nuclear issues with pop culture.
