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.

Visual arts
Wendie Zahibo is a multi-disciplinary artist from the Ivory Coast and the Central African Republic. She lives in Guadeloupe and works in France and abroad. Born in a multi-ethnic family environment, she draws her inspiration from African, Caribbean, and the contemporary African diaspora to explore Caribbean identity and its resonance within a territory: the Black Atlantic.

Curating
Beatrice Zaidenberg is a curator and an interdisciplinary collaborator, committed to fostering dialogue across curating, design, architecture, and science.

She has conducted “Dusts Walks” in Germany, Austria, and Colombia. As a next step, Beatrice plans to initiate a network of interdisciplinary practitioners and the local public, laying the groundwork for collaborative responses to environmental challenges beyond technocratic or top-down policy frameworks.
