Anne Adams (b. 1993, Abuja, Nigeria) is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, collage, photography and video. She received her MFA from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, US. 

Adams’ work delves into identity, hybridity, and cultural narratives, critiquing post-colonial, post-human, and post-feminist frameworks. Through sculptures and mixed media, she blends contemporary magazine images with archival images and pre colonial Nigerian art, creating a dialogue that both celebrates cultural histories and envisions future possibilities. Her installations interact thoughtfully with natural elements, highlighting the evolving nature of identity and cultural expression.

Recent group exhibitions include: Radical Reimagining, Newark Museum of Art, US (2024); The Future of Clay, The Clay Studio, US (2024); It takes a village, Main Line Art Center, US (2024); NCECA Multicultural Fellowship Exhibition, Black History Museum and Cultural Center, US (2024) ; The Medium is the Message, Southside Contemporary, US (2024); 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, London, UK (2023); Message Received, Temple Contemporary, US (2023); Clay Holds Water, Water holds memory, Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, US (2023); Art X Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria (2022); Salon Révélations – International Biennial of Crafts and Creation, Grand Palais, Paris, France (2022); Untangling the perils that tangle us, Kanbi Projects at the Koppel Gallery, London, UK (2021); The Invincible Hands, Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art, Lagos, Nigeria (2021).
