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.

Joëlle is also known for being the founder of L’Artocarpe, the first collective platform run by and for artists, in Guadeloupe which ensures the promotion of contemporary art at an international level, through mainly art residencies, exhibitions and conferences.
With over 75 members from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and the rest of the world, L’Artocarpe has become a leading space to reflect upon and rethink art practices, both creatively and theoretically. L’Artocarpe is constantly approached by top-range professionals, curators, art critics or academics and has become a real referee to many artists, providing them a stepping stone in their careers.
L’Artocarpe is also well known for its critical discourse, which enables to get an better overview on the emergence of contemporary art in Guadeloupe. In 2017-2018, L’Artocarpe delivered a cycle of 10 conferences on contemporary art for Mémorial ACTe.
After a successful training in Vienna, Austria in curating practices, Joëlle has starting working with artists on curatorial projects for Fondation Clément (Martinique), as well as smaller platforms.
The last edition of art residencies led by L’Artocarpe took place at sea, on a old tall ship, which was sailing throught the Caribbean sea with a total of 6 artists (2022 and 2023).

Carlos Fer is a Spanish visual artist and PhD researcher at the dx5 group at the University of Vigo, where he investigates contemporary painting through its material, spatial and narrative transformations. His work reflects on precariousness, memory, and the relationship between the body, gravity and support structures. Combining painting, installation and video, he experiments with soft materials, domestic objects and 3D scans. He has developed projects and residencies in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxemburg and Cuba. His recent solo and group exhibitions focus on the unstable limits between surface, image and space, addressing the soft qualities and shifting boundaries of painting. His work has been awarded by public and private institutions, and is part of various collections.
