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.

Iman Issa was born in 1979. She lives and works in Berlin. Her practice is concerned with the systems that govern the rules of perception and generate meaning. Her work has been widely shown in venues including KW Institute of Contemporary Art (Berlin, 2021), Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin, 2017), MoMA (New York, 2017), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, 2016), MACBA (Barcelona, 2015).
She has also participated in the Whitney Biennial (New York, 2019), the 12th Sharjah biennial (2011), the 8th Berlin Biennial (2014), and the 7th Gwangju biennial (2018) among others. She is a recipient of the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise (2017), the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award (2015), HNF-MACBA Award (2012), and the Abraaj Group Art Prize (2013). Since 2020, Iman Issa has been a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
The project she is working on, I, the Protagonist, explores how a definable notion of self and other intersects with the history of portraiture and its interpretation as a form historically associated with the representation of a visual and conceptual coherence of a figure. These notions will be explored in relation to the shifting individuality on which portraiture is based and by examining representations of existing and invented figures in the collections of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris.
