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 background in architecture, she approaches storytelling spatially through collaborative, interdisciplinary interventions that weave movement and design into speculative language forms that deconstruct and reimagine syntax and narrative structures. Reyes Cid navigates transformation, femininity, and otherness by forging 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 and culture.

A Fulbright 2023 Scholar and a Chevening 2022 scholar, Reyes Cid holds an MSc in Fiction and Entertainment (with Distinction) from SCI-Arc, Los Angeles, and an MA in Spatial Performance and Design (with Distinction) from the Architectural Association, London. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from PUCMM, Santo Domingo, where her BArch thesis "Memorial Museum to Abused Women" won several 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) and Edge Zones, Miami (2024).
