Anne Adams is an interdisciplinary artist from Southern Kaduna, Nigeria - a community with a long lineage of sculptors known for the earliest production of Terracotta sculptures and iron technology discovered in Sub-Saharan Africa (500 BCE and 200 CE). Adams practice is a meditation on the hybridity of racial and ethnic identity and the polyphony of perception in a post-colonial world. Through storytelling and speculation, her work addresses migration, identity, colonialism and the negotiation of selfhood. By engaging historical events, archives and the realities of contemporary life, she uses speculative inquiry as a tool to explore how psychological and cultural theories shape perception of self and other.

As an immigrant, informed by post-colonial experiences, cultural redefinition and multiplicity, her work challenges monolithic portrayals, embracing plurality and the coexistence of multiple perspectives. By blending abstraction with figuration, and the human with the nonhuman, her work explores the intersectionality between the past, present, and future as interconnected and ever-evolving dimensions positioned in a liminal, in-between space beyond clear borders
