Adam HajYahia

Adam HajYahia’s work examines how aesthetic practices of image-making, performance, writing, and sound—both within and outside the art market—reflect on, simulate, initiate, and break apart sociality and political consciousness, particularly in the advent of colonial modernity. Through his work as a scholar, writer, and curator, he explores the at once harmonious and dissonant relationships between psychoanalysis and social organization, desire and labor, and settler-colonial and imperial economies, and forms of political rebellion. His curatorial projects and scholarship have been presented and featured in various museums, universities, and cultural institutions, such as the Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva (BIM’26), the Sharjah Biennial 16 (2025), The Vera List Center at The New School (2024), The Mosaic Rooms (2023), The James Gallery at the CUNY Graduate Center (2023), MoMA PS1 (2022), The Berlin Biennale 12 (2022), and Mophradat (2022-24). He is currently Associate Curator at the Center for Human Rights & the Arts, Bard College.
