Mezquitas de Puerto Rico is an ongoing collaboration between Alia Farid and Jesús "Bubu" Negrón on the representation of Islam in the Caribbean. Renderings/depictions have so far resulted in a series of prayer rugs of mosques in the Puerto Rican towns of Hatillo, Vega Alta, Fajardo, Rio Piedras, and Ponce, and postcards of the same places. For the carpet-kilims series, the mosques were photographed in the spring of 2013 and later interpreted by weavers from Mashhad, Iran.
