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.

Aline Xavier (Belo Horizonte, 1984) works in different media, such as film, photography, sculpture and installation.
Her works are inspired by the natural world and by subjects of cultural and historical interest. Often, her projects start with field trips to decentralized and remote places. Practices of remembrance are central to her work; the artist engages critically with the social and political discourses that mark anthropology, ecology, history and other collective narratives.
She has received significant awards including the Prêmio FOCO ArtRio and the Videobrasil Art Prize (Brazil). Currently, she is part of the Cité Internationale des Arts (France); before, she was a fellow artist of the Akademie Solitude (Germany) and Sacatar (Brazil). With a background in video art and cinema, she has directed and produced experimental films, taking part in the Berlinale Talents (Argentina/Germany) and the Flaherty Seminar (US).
Her works were exhibited in art centers and film festivals such as the WKV – Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart (Germany); Kunsthal KAde (Netherlands); Centre Pompidou (France); Lund Museum of Public Art (Sweden); Tsaritsyno Museum (Russia); Mohsen Gallery (Iran); A4 Arts Foundation, Johannesburg Art fair and Zeitz Museum (South Africa); Inhotim art Center, MAR – Museu de Arte do Rio, Solar dos Abacaxis, Oi Futuro Flamengo, Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Mostra de Cinema de Tiradentes, Centro Cultural São Paulo (Brazil); among others.
