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.

Literature
Lynda Chouiten is an Algerian novelist, short story writer and poet, author of two novels and a collection of short stories. Le Roman des Pôv’Cheveux (Algiers: El Kalima, 2017) is a social, political, and philosophical allegory which, while recounting the misadventures of four “hair characters” – four hairs – invites us to reflect on the female condition, religious fanaticism, political oppression and the question of Evil.
This novel, a finalist for the Mohammed Dib and L’Escale d’Alger prizes in 2018, was followed by Une Valse (Algiers: Casbah, 2019). More serious than its predecessor, this second novel has as its main character a psychotic seamstress who, despite her illness and a misogynistic environment, manages to qualify for the finals of an international fashion design competition, supposedly held in Vienna. Une Valse wins the Grand Prix Assia Djebar du roman francophone in December 2019.
In March 2022, Lynda Chouiten published her first collection of short stories, Des Rêves à leur portée, with the same publisher. Lynda Chouiten also has to her credit some one hundred poems that have not yet been published.

Visual arts
Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury was born in 1981 in Noakhali, Bangladesh. He is based between Dhaka, Bangladesh and the United states. His practice is interdisciplinary, playing with different languages such as installation, assemblage, movement, video, collage, sculpture, found footage and experimental fi lm to conjure multifaceted artistic universes.
Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury has been working with recycled, discarded and ordinary everyday materials for many years to explore energy, sustainability and the environment. While France is adopting a law to combat waste and to reuse energy to transition from a linear into a circular economy, it is, at the same time, discarding
a huge quantity of unwanted products that are being wasted because of overproduction. By investigating these contradictory policies and perspectives, his project will focus on how art-making can be an intervention to increase sustainability for the sake of the environment. Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury’s research will also look at some recycling procedures such as how the systems are maintaining incineration with energy recovery. The project will be developed through collaborations with different groups, communities and waste management industries.
