Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Cinema
Karan Shrestha was born in 1985, in Kathmandu. He lives and works in Kathmandu (Nepal) and Mumbai (India). His practice incorporates drawings, sculpture, photography, text, film and video that speak to the complex, entangled relations of Nepal’s recent history. His projects are a synthesis of an archive of the terrain, political histories, transient memories and a speculative world that suspends reality, probing all the while at the fraught rhetoric of progress that is constantly pitted as the only way forward.
Karan Shrestha’s work has been presented in numerous institutions including Jameel Arts Centre (UAE, 2022); Kathmandu Triennale 2017 & 2022 (Nepal), Museo Madre (Italy, 2021); 10th Asia Pacific Triennial, QAGOMA (Australia (2021), and Dhaka Art Summit (Bangladesh (2020), among others.
Through is project A flow disrupted, he holds words and images together to survey the state of water in Nepal in the 21st century. This ongoing work expands on the vocabulary of the 17th century Newari manuscript illustrating scenes of historical teachings concerning South Asian weather. Texts ranging from poetry to articles, excerpts to testimonies, supplemented by paintings, address illegal sand mining, shrinking wetlands, displacement of marginalized groups, the caste hierarchy, change in weather patterns and agricultural practices, and more. Alongside a flow disrupted, an animation film will be developed propounding further the visions and ideas depicting the interconnectedness and interrelation of life forms, foregrounding indigenous knowledge systems that emphasize symbiotic and dynamic associations. Sung from the perspective of water, the work will encompass plural realities, containing in its flow: myths, memories, histories, flora and fauna subject to climate change and imbalances and inequalities triggered by human activity.
