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.

Thero Makepe is an artist and photographer born and raised in Gaborone, Botswana, working between Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Gaborone.
His photography practice is informed by past, and present narratives related to my upbringing and lived experiences in Botswana and South Africa. Thero is interested in posing questions about one’s personal responsibility in times of crisis and how the personal decisions of individuals affect themselves, their families, and their nations.
His work is often resolved in the form of book projects which contain existing public and private archival material such as family photos, documentary screenshots, and newspaper articles. He also employs a variety of photographic styles such as staged portraiture, documentary, and re-enactments. Moreover, He is also a founding member of the Botswana Pavilion, a collective of young artists from Botswana concerned with advancing Botswana’s creative development and artistic archive.
The MEP – Maison Européenne de la Photographie – Collection Gervanne + Matthias Leridon – Cité internationale des arts residency will be an opportunity for Thero Makape to deepen their photographic practice and to develop their personal projects while benefiting from the artistic and cultural dynamism of Paris.
