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.

Larissa Araz
Year/s of residence : 2023, European Investment Bank
Visual arts
Larissa is a polyvalent artist working in a broad variety of media, such as installations, sound, light, text and photography.
Her practice focuses on creating stories about past events that have been forgotten, denied or side-lined by official narratives. Driven by research, her artworks are developed as alternative histories, that the artist reconstructs after gathering documents and belongings, investigating archives, exploring ruins and recording memories that are not included in mainstream social accounts. Between reality and fiction, she tries to discuss possible futures and unrevealed pasts using mythology and rituals.
