WHO WE ARE

Designers, Researchers, Storytellers

Shariq is a designer and researcher born in Atlanta, Georgia and practicing across national boundaries. His transdisciplinary work concerns the relationship between ecology and technology, specifically as it relates to colonial history. His practice examines the ways in which more-than-human relations are made and remade in territories facing ecological violence, from ancestors to kin and mothers to dolphins. This work, across moving image, audio, installation, and mapping, has primarily responded to histories of the river basins, mountain ranges, and glacial valleys in Asia. 

These projects have been generously supported by the Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard Urban Planning  and Design, the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute, the Harvard Asia Center, and the Harvard Fairbank Center. He has recently exhibited at the Kirkland Gallery, the Harvard Center for Government and International Studies, and the UCLA Hammer Museum. Shariq earned his Bachelor of Architecture at the College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon  University. He completed his Masters in Design Studies with a concentration in  Ecologies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
