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

Western Aranda artist Vincent Namatjira OAM (b. 1983) has gained significant recognition in Australia and overseas, establishing himself as a witty and subversive portraitist. The great-grandson of renowned watercolourist Albert Namatjira, Vincent has forged his own path by painting portraits of important figures, both personally familiar and famously political. His paintings offer a wry look at the politics of history, power and leadership from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective.

Born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and now based in Indulkana on Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, South Australia, Namatjira is an acute observer of national and international politics, painting wry portraits of well-known figures such as US presidents, Australian prime ministers, and the British monarchy. Often inserting himself into these compositions, Namatjira fuses deeply personal histories and incisively political critique. His work is bold, humorous, and conceptually rich in its examination of the connections between leadership, wealth, power and influence.

In 2020, Namatjira was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in honour of his contribution to Indigenous visual arts. In the same year, he was the first Indigenous Australian artist to win the prestigious Archibald Prize. Namatjira was also the winner of the 2019 Ramsay Art Prize, Australia’s most generous prize for artists under 40.

Naghmeh Nami

Year/s of residence : 2026, Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Paris

Spectacle vivant

Naghmeh Nami is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist rooted in puppet theatre and sculpture. Her work for adult audiences explores freedom, the ownership of the female body, and philosophical questions through fantasy and handcrafted forms. Moving between sculpture and puppetry, she creates poetic yet critical spaces where ritual, resistance, and imagination intersect. As an independent woman shaped by social and cultural constraints, she transforms personal and collective tensions into visual narratives of autonomy.
