About
Alia Farid (b.1985) lives and works in Kuwait and Puerto Rico.
"The projects I’m going to share are not in chronological order because my work is, I think, better understood when looked at as constellations. My work is not medium specific, I make art to help me think through questions. And those questions often send me in different directions and on different material explorations."
Free, but booking is essential - see event website link on the right.
Farid has had solo exhibitions in Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo; Chisenhale Gallery, London; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Missouri. She has forthcoming solo exhibitions at Contemporary Art Museum Houston in partnership with Rivers Institute, and in Detroit Institute of Arts.
Alia Farid has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from la Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico (San Juan), a Master of Science in Visual Studies from the Visual Arts Program in MIT (Cambridge) and a Master of Arts in Museum Studies and Critical Theory from the Programa d’Estudis Independents MACBA (Barcelona). In 2023, she received The Lise Wilhelmsen Art Award and in 2023-2024 she was the David and Roberta Logie Fellow at Harvard Radcliffe Institute.
