About Adriant
Adraint Bereal is a multi-disciplinary artist from Waco, TX. His interest in the arts has always been present from a young age and took flight in high school after taking a graphic design course.
Adraint is a first-generation college student and he recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BFA in Design. While a student, he and small, committed group of friends undertook a project called The Black Yearbook—portraits and interviews of Black student life at a predominantly white college. The project gained the attention of prominent news outlets like the NY Times and The Atlantic.
