Adrian Burrell

Adrian Burrell (b. 1990, Oakland, CA) is third-generation Oakland-based artist and storyteller, who utilizes photography, film, and site-specific installations to delve into the intricate intersections of race, class, gender, and intergenerational dynamics. His artistic lens converges on the exploration of kinship, diasporic narratives, and the nuanced relationship between place and belonging. Burrell hopes to be a model for other Black Americans of similar backgrounds to reimagine their narratives by drawing on the nature of memory and contending documentation of multigenerational histories.
