About the Juror: Adriel Luis is a community organizer who is driven by the belief that social justice can be achieved through surprising, imaginative and loving approaches to art. Currently, he tours the world with his band iLL-Literacy using music and spoken word to strengthen Black and Asian American coalitions in colleges; is creative director of Bombshelltoe, which works with artists to highlight marginalized communities affected by nuclear history; and collaborates with dozens of artists and community organizations through his curate and design company Phenomenoun. Adriel is the Curator of Digital and Emerging Media at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, where he pushes for emerging artists of color to be shown and paid fairly by museums. He and his team has been curating Culture Labs — an alternative to museum exhibitions, built on community organizing principles.

Adriel has recently curated shows at the Smithsonian Arts & Industries Building in Washington, D.C., the Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia, and an abandoned supermarket in Honolulu. His writing has appeared in Poetry Magazine, the Asian American Literary Review, and Smithsonian Magazine.
