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
Daniah Alsaleh is a multidisciplinary artist based in Saudi Arabia. She studied computer applications at King Saud University before training at Safia Binzagr’s atelier, where she built a strong foundation in traditional drawing and painting. Her early practice centred on large-scale geometric compositions inspired by Islamic patterns. She later earned an MFA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London, expanding her work into themes of memory, cultural conditioning, and media influence. Moving fluidly between analogue and digital, she reinterprets traditional forms through contemporary technologies. Daniah exhibits widely in the Middle East and internationally, has participated in residencies in Saudi Arabia and Europe, and was the recipient of the 2019 Ithra Art Prize.
