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.

Sasha Baydal
Year/s of residence : 2023, Centre national des arts plastiques
Curating
Sasha Baydal identifies as an interdependent art worker and as an Eastern European queer.
Their practice is centered around experiences of displacement, a certain cultural memory of the socialist past and memory loss, and their family’s history shaped by different forms of forced mobility. Their work is influenced by postcolonial and queer theory, along with decolonial approaches, and involves daily exercise in recollection, remembrance, and decolonization.
They have collaborated with Centre Pompidou in Paris, HISK in Ghent, Mudam Luxembourg, Triangle-Astérides in Marseille, Capc Museum in Bordeaux, Lviv Municipal Art Center, and Pickle Bar by Slavs and Tatars in Berlin around exhibitions, discursive programs, performances, workshops, and texts. In 2021, they were a Laureate of ‘Résidences Sur Mesure Plus+’ by l’Institut français, and in 2022, served as a curator-in-residence in Vilnius on the invitation of the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
In 2019, they were a researcher-in-residence at the Institut national d’histoire de l’art in Paris. Sasha Baydal initiated Curatorial hotline in 2020 and co-founded the collective Beyond the post-soviet in 2021. In their 2022-2023 role as a curatorial research fellow at the Centre national des arts plastiques in Paris, they conducted a research titled “Two-Faced Janus,” which analyzed the presence of artists related to or coming from (post-)socialist countries of Europe, Central Asia, and South Caucasus in the Cnap collection through a postcolonial lens.

Year/s of residence : 2024, On~des
Visual arts
Jordan Beal was born in Martinique in 1991, where he lives and has been working as a photographer since 2018. Self-taught, he works on commercial images for agencies and brands in Martinique and Europe.
At the same time, he is developing an artistic approach to photography, focusing on both the human and the plant, in series of diverse forms. He likes to construct his images by playing with the materiality of photography. Using digital as well as film, he explores the possibilities of working with negatives. He deteriorates, buries or submerges his prints. The Corrosion series, on which he is currently working, is an example of his approach to aesthetic research that verges on abstraction.
He has taken part in a number of group exhibitions on his native island, and his work has been the subject of monographic exhibitions, such as Pour faire le portrait d’une fleur, at Tropiques Atrium scène nationale (2022) and at the Biennale Internationale des Rencontres Photographiques de Guyane 2023.
