Adraint Khadafhi Bereal (b. 1998) is an artist from Waco, Texas, based in New York. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Design and Creative Technologies, Bereal’s work untangles the nuances of American culture by interrogating and provoking truth to reveal itself. Working across photography, design, and publishing, he examines how systems of representation shape identity. His debut monograph, The Black Yearbook, expanded a student project into a national portrait of Black collegiate life, revealing the emotional and aesthetic vocabularies of a generation navigating visibility and belonging.
Bereal’s work is held in the permanent collection of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and has been exhibited nationally. His upcoming solo exhibition at the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas at Austin marks a return to the institution where his practice first took root.
