Black History Month: Do you know who Adhel Arop is? An activist, multidisciplinary artist, poet, and model, Adhel Arop is a talented Black artist residing in Vancouver. As a Kenyan-born filmmaker, she filmed “Who Am I?”, a short documentary that delves into the effects of war on her family, notably her mother’s time spent as a child soldier in the Sudanese Liberation Army. Through art, she confronts her trauma in experiencing a refugee life in South Sudan to define her identity. She is very involved in the Black Lives Matter protest and her main goal is to shift the White Gaze that shapes people’s worldview.
