Adah Parris is a self-taught emerging anti-disciplinary artist whose innovative approach to art has earned recognition in the global art community. Her work transcends traditional boundaries, challenging the distinctions between art, technology, philosophy, ecology, and social justice through a series of interconnected conceptual investigations.

Adah's perspective on life is rooted in a continuous journey of creation and experimentation. She leverages her art to confront societal and historical norms, address critical issues of identity, power, and justice, and raise awareness about interconnectedness and responsibility. Her immersive and mixed media creations often position the observer as the protagonist, offering them a unique opportunity to explore complex ideas, making the 'invisible visible,' and using art as a powerful tool for social and systemic change.

Her artistic vision draws inspiration from her Nigerian Igbo ancestral tradition of Mbari, which places a strong emphasis on collaboration, social responsibility, and the transformative power of art as a form of citizenship. This concept deeply influences Adah's artistic practice and fuels her unwavering commitment to using her work as a tool for shaping a better world.

Adah's pioneering work as a tech futurist, keynote speaker, and social justice activist resonates with her profound question, "What type of ancestor do you want to be?" Her ability to merge philosophy, technology, and art enables her to craft experiences that challenge perceptions, provoke critical thought, and inspire action, making her a beacon of innovation and transformation in today's artistic landscape.

Her work has been showcased in various exhibitions and events globally, including The Other Art Fair, Tate Modern Gallery (London). She has also been an Artist in Residence on the Glen Dye Estate (Scotland), at SBCAST (The Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science and Technology), The Design Science Studio (an incubator at the Buckminster Fuller Institute) and the Living Collaboratory between the Design Science Studio and the Emergent Media Lab at The University of California Irvine.
