First Floor - Alia Farid

Alia Farid (*1985 in Kuwait City, Kuwait, lives and works in Kuwait and Puerto Rico) is a filmmaker and sculptor whose practice centres on lesser-known histories that are often deliberately erased. She looks at the ecological devastation of southern Iraq and the forced displacement of its people, the under-told histories of Arab and South Asian migration to Latin America and the Caribbean, and the intersectional Palestinian–Puerto Rican solidarity movement.
