Irsida Bejo is an educator, theorist and designer whose interest in architecture is shaped by the question of what it means to be ‘in translation’ or to inhabit a space ‘of translation’. She thinks and explores the agency of the ‘shared in-betweenness’ that translation affords through notions of estrangement + belonging.

Bejo holds an M.Arch from University of Michigan and a B.S.Arch from Lawrence Technological University. She was the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship [2011-2012] and Co-Founder of the Detroit chapter of Open Architecture Collaborative [2013-2019].
