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.

Sara Ouhaddou

Year/s of residence : 2020, Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso

Visual arts

SaraOuhaddou’s work lies midway between traditional Moroccan arts and the codes of contemporary art in order to bring forgotten cultural realities into perspective. She questions the role of art as a tool for economic, social and cultural development, more specifically in the Arab world. She is represented by the Polaris Gallery (Paris).

The artist will lead the Des Autres project for her residency at the Cité internationale des arts under the “Art Explora and Cité internationale des arts” residency program. It is a search for all the divine, human or monstrous figures gathered by the systems of belief of the ancient Amazigh peoples of North Africa (the word is used by the Berbers to designate themselves). Sara Ouhaddou offers a crossover geographical study through time between Europe and North Africa, which aims to build a new material, immaterial or performative space. This reflection will be the subject of an installation and a publication.

Bouchra Ouizguen

Year/s of residence : 2026, Festival d'Automne

Dance

Bouchra Ouizguen is a Moroccan dancer and choreographer. She lives and works in Marrakech, where she has been involved in the development of a local choreographic scene since 1998. Her work is informed by her interest in cinema, literature, and music. In the liberating piece Madame Plaza (SACD “révélation chorégraphique” award), she shares the stage with artists from the Aïta tradition. She continues this collaboration in Ha! (2013). In 2014, she created Corbeaux, a sculptural piece for 17 dancers, presented at the Art in Marrakech Biennale. In 2015, she brought together four performers from her previous works to create OTTOF, marking her first collaboration with the Festival d’Automne à Paris. In 2017, she created Jerada for the dancers of Carte Blanche, the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance (awarded Best Dance Performance by the Norwegian Critics Association). In 2022, she created Éléphant, a choreographic and musical piece also presented in Paris at the Festival d’Automne. They always come back, a performance conceived for and with a group of amateur participants, was presented at the Avignon Festival. Her works are shown internationally in institutions such as Tate Modern, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Power Station of Art in Shanghai.
