Ahmed Adam

Ahmed Adam is an artist, writer, and community worker whose practice spans film, photography, critical writing, and African drumming. Born in Sudan, he lived and worked in Mparntwe for twelve years. Now based on Kaurna Country (Tarnantya/Adelaide), Adam is grateful for the connections and learning that Central Australia offered him, continuing to shape his practice.

Adam’s work investigates capitalism, territories, and memory. His writing follows these traces, moving between classical forms of colonial extraction and what is now called technofeudalism, including the largely unexamined connections between global capital, digital infrastructure, and the violence of militias such as the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.

Adam’s central concerns are the conditions under which certain lives are rendered disposable and what forms of knowledge and resistance survive at the margins. His practice moves between the visual, the sonic, and the written as different registers of the same inquiry.
