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.
Myriam Omar Awadi
Year/s of residence : 2024, Art Explora
Visual arts
Myriam Omar Awadi is a Franco-Comorian artist born in 1983 in Paris, France. Lives and works in La Reunion. She invites voices that are not always audibles, in search of the fires that their last breaths rekindle : millions and myriads of souls’species made of wood, clay, glass, embroidery, shimmering sequins and sea water, dripping on the microphones and waking up from their premeditated extinctions through the sweat of our deviant listening.
They tell stories for gardens, they rock morbid suprematism, they sing politics dilute in the liquid humors of love. Myriam Omar Awadi’s work has been presented in numerous institutions including Bamako Encounters African Biennale of Photography (Mali, 2019), Palais de Tokyo (France, 2021), MADOI with Le Louvre (France, 2021), Zeitz Mocaa (South Africa, 2022) and Kochi-Muziris Biennale (India, 2023).
