The process and subject of ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฒ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜—๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜™๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฐ (2022) highlights the ongoing yet underrecognized migrations of people, ideas, and forms between the Arab world and the Caribbean. The buildings depicted here were first photographed by Alia Farid in various towns of Puerto Rico, after which the images were shared with weavers in Mashhad, Iran. The weavers in turn translated the images into a unique kilim, or traditional prayer rug. Without detailed instructions from Farid, the weavers interpreted these images into a tapestry while adding in their own "signatures," like the intricate border made of ornamental pomegranates. New extended hours: We are open Thursday to Saturday from 11AM โ€“ 7PM and Sunday from 11AM โ€“ 5PM.
