Ana Reyes Cid is a Dominican interdisciplinary designer, artist, and director creating at the intersection of performance, movement, film, and spatial design. Drawing from her architectural background, she approaches storytelling extralinguistically to communicate the imaginary through dialogues between space, body, and design. These dialogues deconstruct and reimagine spatial language, its syntax, and structures. Reyes Cid navigates transformation, the feminine, the relational, and otherness through interdisciplinary collaborations and cross-cultural connections in literature and myth from both distant and recent pasts. Situating them within a contemporary context looking forward, she creates evocative narratives that bridge time, culture, and space.
A Fulbright 2023 and Chevening 2022 scholar, Reyes Cid 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. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from PUCMM, Santo Domingo, where her BArch thesis "Memorial Museum to Abused Women" won national and international awards. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including the Modern Art Museum of Santo Domingo (2021); Architectural Association, London (2022); Teatro Aberto, Lisbon (2023); and multiple venues across the United States including Highways, Los Angeles (2024), Edge Zones, Miami (2024), and Allentown Art Museum, Pennsylvania(2025).
