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.

Ileana Alesi (Rome, 1995) is a multidisciplinary artist who weaves drawing, textile, writing, and performance into a research practice focused on the concept of Place as an emotional and relational territory. Her work considers home and body as living archives, where dwelling manifests as an amorphous gesture. She experiments with organic materials to explore the ephemeral and the relationship between art, time, and life, evoking images that draw on collective memory and childhood. Trained in painting at the Academies of Venice and Rome, as well as in historical tailoring and costume, she collaborates in scenography and costume design for theatre and film. Since 2022, she has been a resident member of the artist-run space Porto Simpatica.
