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
Arrita Katona is an artist from Gjakova, Kosovo, working across photography, installation, and sound. She studied Graphic Design at the University of Prishtina and holds an MFA in Photography from FAMU in Prague. Her research-based practice explores how photography and archives shape the representation of women, examining memory, gender, surveillance, and the politics of visibility. Combining image-making, installation, sound, and archival research, she investigates the ways historical and contemporary systems of representation construct, suppress, and preserve lived experience. Her work has been exhibited at Adlergasse Gallery (Dresden), MeetFactory and Teleport Gallery (Prague), and MuseumsQuartier (Vienna).

VISUAL ARTS
Born in 1956 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Zina Katz is the daughter of 20th century European exiles from the textile industry and photography. Her work is the result of the interweaving of the social with the private. It combines the techniques and materials of drawing, photography and textiles.
Currently, her work focuses on exile and migration.
“A human being is lucky s´il has the “right” passport. To promote “chosen” immigration, sovereign states have reduced hospitality to utility issues. Qu´est what can l´art offer in response? What freedom do we have when hospitality depends on utility? What are we talking about when we talk about art in such a fragile situation?”
