Podcast appearances and mentions of adriel luis

In this episode, we speak with Adriel Luis, a creative collaborator who works with artists, scholars, and community organizers to bring innovative projects to life. Adriel is currently serves as the Curator of Digital and Emerging Practice for the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, where he enjoys the freedom to explore topics and mediums in fluid and complex ways. Adriel's passion lies in projects that don't fit neatly into specific identity markers or formats, and he likes to explore issues that don't yet have clear answers. We dive into his recent curated projects, such as Bravespace, a collection of music and visuals by Asian American women and nonbinary artists, which focuses on the theme of collective healing. We also discuss In the Future Our Asian Community is Safe, a mural created by Jess X. Snow, Wiena Lin, and the W.O.W. Project in Manhattan's Chinatown, which explores Asian American safety and solidarity with the area's Indigenous and Black histories.Join us as we explore Adriel's passion for creative collaboration and his commitment to exploring complex issues in the world of art and community organizing.Creators & Guests Adriel Luis

Hard NOC Life will go on a brief hiatus as we prepare for our landmark 200th episode. However, in honor of the streaming debut of Hamilton on Disney+, we're digging into the archives to bring you this conversation of the musical phenomenon. Back in November 2016, we recorded a live edition of Hard NOC Life from the NOC Reading Lounge at CTRL+ALT — the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center's pop-up culture lab in the former Pearl River Mart location in SoHo. Hamilton superfans Constance Gibbs, Kendra James, and Kevin T. Morales joined Keith to nerd out over the smash Broadway hit musical Hamilton. Special thanks to Lawrence Minh-Bui Davis and Adriel Luis from the Smithsonian APA for inviting us to be a part of CTRL+ALT! All this and more on Hard NOC Life!

This week's guest on Foreign National is Adriel Luis, a musician, poet, visual artist, curator and coder from the California Bay Area. Adriel is currently based in Washington, D.C. as the Curator of Digital and Emerging Media at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, where his team has been developing a series of “culture labs” as community-created alternatives to traditional museum exhibitions. He is also a founding member of the psychedelic spoken word collective iLL-Literacy, and moonlights on design projects with artists and non-profits. Adriel frequently travels, with particular interest in how digital space shapes global communities.

What would happen if we designed art exhibitions around social justice community organizing principles? How can collaboration between artists, curators, scholars, and participants generate a radical art making experience? What might an event premised on radical curation look, sound, and feel like? In episode 40 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, host Cathy Hannabach interviews curators Kālewa Correa, Lawrence-Minh Bùi Davis, and Adriel Luis, who share their experiences curating the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Museum's innovative 'Ae Kai Culture Lab exhibit in Honolulu, Hawai'i.

Don’t call this a comeback! After an almost three-year hiatus, Museopunks returns to explore progressive museum practice. How much has changed since the ‘Punks last hit the airwaves? Does Jeffrey have any new tattoos? Has Suse lost her Australian accent? In this first episode of season two, the ‘Punks unpack the trials and tribulations of trust with Dr. fari nzinga and Adriel Luis. Report after report indicates that public trust in institutions is plummeting. The 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer, which surveys more than 33,000 people across 28 countries, showed the largest-ever drop in trust across the institutions of government, business, media and NGOs. Meanwhile, the Economist’s Intelligence Unit downgraded the US to a “flawed democracy” in its 2016 Democracy Index, due to erosion of trust in government and elected officials. Museums have traditionally appeared to be cushioned against drops in trust. The American Alliance of Museum reports that museums are considered the most trustworthy source of information in America. Yet a 2013 UK study on public trust in museums showed that although museums are highly trusted, there was “a strong sense that if they started “telling people what to think” or became spaces for controversial debate, this might damage their integrity.” What does this mean for our institutions at a time when there is increasing pressure on public institutions to promote social justice, and intervene in political and social discourse? Join us to unpack these questions and more. Show notes: http://museopunks.org
