adam walker is a writer, artist and academic. Their practice is research-led, critically and reflexively considering structures of inequality, not least their own complicit position amid these. Text lies at the centre of their practice, including its extensions into digital terrains as code and data. Interruption and impropriety are sought: subtexts and counter-texts that interrupt dominant textual flows. The works are sometimes written; other times they spill into performance, moving-image and digital forms, and have been exhibited, performed, published, and commissioned by institutions including the Serpentine, ICA, Tate, and Tyneside Cinema.
Their latest book 'Textual Actants (Infrastructure)' was published in 2026 by Ma Bibliotheque.
Their previous book 'Art, Labour, Text and Radical Care' was published in 2023 by Routledge.
They are a Lecturer in Fine Art at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University.
