During her residency, Alia Farid will pursue her work Migrations of Form. This research project is a study on a series of migrations through an examination of transplanted building types including businesses, community centers, restaurants and residential neighborhoods. This project traces the eviction of Arab, African and South Asian groups to Latin America and the Caribbean. Alia Farid’s work brings the sites in relation to each other, creating a trans-regionalism that belies national boundaries drawn on land.
