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.

Ken Okiishi is a visual artist based in New York.

While at Cité internationale des arts, he will focus on research and production of a video piece in which the musical practice of historically informed performance is put in dialogue with theories of performativity and neuroplasticity, as well as experiment with how theories and practices of music open up possibilities of thinking and doing visual art (particularly painting).

Precious Okoyomon
Year/s of residence : 2024, Art Explora
Visual arts
Born in 1993, Precious Okoyomon, lives and works in New York. Their work considers the natural world, histories of migration and racialization, and the pure pleasures of everyday life.
In their practice, organic materials serve a dual purpose: they remind us of our violent histories but also celebrate nature’s ability to adapt and flourish in the face of man-made crises. If their work continually asks us to listen to the natural world, it also contains warnings of what might happen should we fail to act.
Recent exhibitions include : Okayama Art Summit (Japan, 2022), Palais de Tokyo (France, 2021), and the Luma Arles (France, 2021), Serpentine Galleries (UK, 2019), Institute of Contemporary Art London (UK, 2019).
