Born in Beirut in a multiethnic and multicultural family, she grew up speaking Arabic, Greek and Turkish and studied in a Francophone religious school. She travelled to Paris, where she obtained a degree in philosophy before pursuing her curriculum at the University of California, Berkeley and Harvard University. Adnan returned to Beirut and developed a writing practice through newspaper articles. After the start of the war in Lebanon, she published the novel Sitt Marie-Rose and the poem The Arab Apocalypse. In parallel, she constructed a corpus of visual works composed of paintings, drawings, foldable leporellos and tapestries.
