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.

Amalia Vekri
Year/s of residence : 2024, 2–12
Visual arts
Amalia Vekri was born in Athens (Greece) where she lives and works. Her practice which spans painting, sculpture, and writing, is an exploration into female otherness and gender in cinema, gothic literature, pornography, ancient mythology, and pop culture.
Light saccharine or bright colours are regularly used to depict darker characters drawn from narratives that typically objectify and sexualize the female body, or create fear around it. The work of Amalia Vekri questions the impact of these stories on shaping canons, and power structures that affect the relationship with our bodies. Bodies that on the first glance look perfect and polished interweave with motifs subtly alluding to the horror/gothic genre or other familiar imagery to reflect on gender theory, the fragility of the body, female abuse, otherness, the passing of time, and fantasy. Most of these figures are sourced from the boundless pool of the Internet, from pornography sites to stock images, and Instagram accounts, fusing historical references with clichés. Ghostly faces watch you behind swirls of paint, fictional characters cross paths with mythical ones, all overlapping within abstract environments, blurring the sense of place and time, creating a dreamy confusion that tracks snippets of cultural and personal memories.
