Ana Reyes Cid (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is an interdisciplinary designer and spatial storyteller working across design, installation, performance, movement, video, and pedagogy. Drawing from her background in architecture, she creates narrative environments through conceptual and material folds between space, body, and design. Traversing digital and physical realms, Ana’s practice navigates metamorphosis, the relational feminine, intersubjectivity, and otherness by deconstructing and reimagining cross-cultural connections from both distant and recent pasts. By situating them within a contemporary context looking forward, she flies towards speculative spatial futures.
A Fulbright 2023 and Chevening 2022 scholar, Ana holds an MSc in Fiction and Entertainment from SCI-Arc, Los Angeles, and an MA in Spatial Performance and Design from the Architectural Association, London—both with Distinction honors. She also holds a Bachelor of Architecture from PUCMM, Santo Domingo with Magna Cum Laude honors.
Her work has been featured in Dazed, Voyage LA, and LA Dance Chronicle, and has been exhibited and performed internationally, including at the Allentown Art Museum, Pennsylvania; Edge Zones, Miami; Highways Performance Space, Santa Monica; Teatro Aberto, Lisbon, Architectural Association, London; and the Modern Art Museum of Santo Domingo.
