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.

Leyla Yenirce
Year/s of residence : 2023, Art Explora
Visual arts
Born in Kurdistan, Leyla Yenirce lives and works in Hamburg.
In her artistic practice across multiple media, Leyla Yenirce deals with the representation of resistance as well as cultural, medial and military structures of dominance. She exposes the fine line between glorifying ideology and resistant emancipation, uniting what is often mutually exclusive: feminism and war, pop culture and genocide, genuine longing and detached irony.
Recent exhibitions include : Haus der Kunst (Germany, 2023), Kunsthaus Hamburg (Germany, 2022), Goethe Institute (France, 2022), Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig (Germany, 2023), Halle für Kunst Lueneburg (Germany, 2022).
During her residency, Leyla Yenirce will explore water as a natural element in her research on the Ilisu dam, the result of geopolitical strategies for the control of resources on the Kurdish border between Turkey and Syria and the division of the Euphrates-Tigris basin. She will study the political and cultural repercussions of this, notably by examining the traces and imprints left by the Seine in Paris.
Leyla Yenirce’s research will take various forms through the use of different media, such as painting, sound and video.
