Adhel Arop is a South Sudanese Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and producer based in Vancouver, BC. As a refugee, she developed a deep curiosity about the world and its people, which was enriched by her early career as an international model, and later by her independent explorations in Europe and Africa. Leading with empathy, Adhel’s goal as a producer is to empower others by creating new avenues and platforms for BIPOC creators to share their unique stories and perspectives.
