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
Driant Zeneli was born in 1983 in Shkoder, Albania. He lives and works between Tirana and Turin.
In his films, and video sculpture installations, the representation of power, science, mythology, and fairy tales are interlaced with individual narratives, giving rise to utopias that subvert the natural order of things. The creative act feeds on unplanned encounters and the relationship with the architectural heritage of places. He represented Albanian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, 2019.
Driant Zeneli’s work has been presented in numerous institutions, including EMST, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Greece (2025), Sharjah Biennial 16, United Arab Emirates (2025), Manifesta Biennial 14, Kosovo (2022), 39th EVA International Biennial, Ireland (2020), Centre Pompidou, France (2016).
