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.

Cheikh Ndiaye is particularly interested in architecture and urbanism. Composed of paintings, photography, and installations, his body of work is guided by a singular gaze to the informal economies of African metropolis. Retrieved from a lethal state, obsolete objects are brought back to life. The objects return to their material plenitude and are project into a renewed imaginary.
The artist lives and works in New York and Dakar. He graduated from the National School of fine Arts in Dakar and the School of Fine Arts in Lyon, France. He has participated in numerous exhibitions across Africa and Europe namely Hippocampus at La Maréchalerie in Versailles in 2017 and in his solo exhibitions at the Galerie Cécile Fakhoury.

Ibrahima Ndome (Dakar), Safi Niang (Conakry/Paris) and Souleymane Bachir Diaw (Dakar/Paris) are part of the Atelier Ndokette collective. They have been working together since 2019 and use photography and fashion design as their main mediums. Beyond a clothing tradition, Ndokette is a Senegalese word that refers to a tunic which represents the cultural Senegalese heritage traveling across the eras. The collective questions this temporality notion through experimentations.
Living between Dakar, Paris and Conakry, the collective has been firstly a place of conversations around their own contemporary socio-cultural ecosystems of which the complexity and the issues are growing. Photographs, videos and performances attest to these experiences focused on the present moment research in full consciousness, freed from a recalled past and an idealized future. The collective represents a laboratory of ideas, concepts and solutions.
