Adam Moore is a transdisciplinary artist, dancer, curator, and writer creating multidisciplinary performance installations and situated works. Born in London, creole diaspora growing up in a global community, his British, Caribbean and Central American heritage is reflected in his transdisciplinary practice facilitating situated, collaborative socially engaged forms inventing with people, places, and pluriformities. From the local ecologies, materials, and post-industrial landscape of the London Docklands and the River Thames to the lesser Antilles of the Caribbean archipelagos and beyond, he playfully examines the fabric and spirit of life and its structures and systems at local and global scales, translating the ephemeral and precarious substance of the world at large into sensual forms, experiential and affective encounters across media. He designs installations curated with drawing and painting, photography and print, film, sculpture, and sound to house his performances. In his dancing, artworks, installations, and situated works he channels experiential imaginations, kin(a)esthetic and not-strictly-sensory psychic and spiritual states, and ambient vast and subtle movements liberating interdependent, collective and autonomous, internal and exterior worlds, stewarding life to thrive.

In 2025 he was the inaugural V&A East Storehouse artist in residence. He presented prints and designs developed in residence with work by Hannah Collins, Gerald Holtom, and Omega Workshops from the V&A East Storehouse collections. Collaborating with artist Lotte van Gelder (NL) they performed and curated AVALANCHE The home site at the iconic 1960s brutalist social housing Lesnes Estate in Abbey Wood, London. His prints developed with the support of the V&A East Storehouse residency were exhibited at Somers Gallery, London, in the group show Las Palabras (2025). He opened the exhibition with newly commissioned performance After Lands, a choreography with site-drawing and sound made in collaboration with his mother, Yvonne. He curated Samples and Extended Plays at 125 Shaftesbury Avenue (Bow Arts Artist Takeover) (2025); Loose Ends (V&A East X Bow Arts Artist Fellowship) hosted by the University of East London’s department of Architecture and Visual Art (2023-24); co-designed and facilitated Camden Art Centre’s Transformative Futures Youth Collective programme for consecutive years, co-curating both annual takeovers across the galleries and garden (2021-23); co-facilitated Destination Unknown 2023 (NL) AiR program with Lotte Van Gelder and Raviv Ganchrow; curated Listening Space with Hypha Studios London (2022); and co-curated Umbra Penumbra Antumbra at Flat Time House, London as part of CONSTELLATIONS 2020-21. In 2023 he was the inaugural V&A East X Bow Arts Artist Fellow and recipient of Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice award and the Jerwood New Work Fund. He has been creating commissioned public artworks in the UK since 2023, including Still life on Eastbourne Pier, commissioned by Devonshire Collective, Towner Gallery and Eastbourne Alive, celebrating the 2023 Turner Prize.

A Leverhulme Performing Arts Scholar, Adam holds a Master of Fine Art degree in Dance Creative Practice from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and Independent Dance, Siobhan Davies Studios, London, and a BA Dance, Theatre and Professional Practice degree from Coventry University. He is a CONSTELLATIONS 2020-21 alumni developing collaborative and socially engaged practice with UP Projects and Flat Time House. Previously Associate Lecturer at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama from 2022-23, he has been a lecturer at the University of East London teaching BA Fine Art, Photography, and Commercial Photography since 2023. His solo exhibition, the installation and performance series Bright Dynasty, was presented at Kunstraum, London, supported by Jerwood Arts (2021); Hypha Studios, London (2022); and Phoenix Art Space, Brighton, supported by UNITe, g39, Cardiff and Jerwood Arts (2022).

Living on an iconic 1960s brutalist estate near the post industrial landscape and ecologies of the river Thames, and overlooking the ancient monastic Lesnes Abbey ruins and Abbey Woods, he makes, curates, collaborates, and performs, examining the experiential and affective ecologies, materials, and histories of his home site in London.

I think that my practice overall tells the story of atemporal and experiential looping journeys from microscopic inner worlds – emotions and granular, subjective feeling states – out, into the seemingly-objective solid geometries – architectures, infrastructures, systems, and materials of the universe – and how these are all in flux, semi-permeable and dissolving… Into oceans. Across lands and seas. Between places, people, the organic and inorganic. Within oneself and beyond. I’m deeply curious about the interrelated movements across material, ecological, spatial, and social dimensions, the seen, unseen and felt, that shape and define life, and the duality of structures that are the result of action as well as the context and framework for action, simultaneously enacted and acting upon. Through my dancing I’ve developed experimental fine art, design, socially engaged and situated practices that show reality in different ways; challenge and disrupt fixed and frozen systems, structures, and institutions; and liberate new and alternative, interdependent, internal and autonomous and collective exterior worlds.

If I were a concrete poem I could depict the movement of thoughts, ideas, materials, processes, energy, and forms. If I were an unstable chemical compound I could be made from light, space, my body and senses, places, visions, memories, movement, and beauty. If I were a map I could trace the sacred and awesome-everyday through ritual, craft, and technology; ready-mades, Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, Land Art, and Arte Povera. If I were a song I could be a glittery pop love song, with a sexy, silky syncopated trap bridge that makes you dance and an interpolated anthemic chorus easy to sing. If I were a language I could be direct, magic, anxious, ancient, new; seemingly lawless, charming, without manners, romantic. I could balance all of this in dynamic alignment were I a mathematical equation which in some ways I am. With chemistry, and physics…
