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.

She has accomplished numerous artistic projects and diverse experiments, in addition to university studies in portraiture, artistic anatomy, mixed-media photography, sculpture, and ceramics. Her work is characterized by the use of dry pastels, an expressionist style, and the incorporation of installation art. She has participated in many international and group exhibitions, including the recent Gaza Biennale in Italy, Turkey, and Greece, as well as I Will Write My Family’s Testament Above the Clouds in Spain. She has also taken part in local events such as Art Sanctuary at Al-Multaqa Gallery in Gaza.
Yara also holds experience in writing, photography, and video art, as well as engraving and printmaking. Her passion lies in continuous research and development in the field of visual arts, focusing on depicting scenes from everyday life and revealing what the realistic image, as perceived by the public, does not express, transforming them into artworks that invite reflection and contemplation.
