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
Of French and Nigerian origin, Kévin-Adémọ́lá Ṣàngósànyà was born in 1996 in Longjumeau (91).
He began his artistic career after studying tropical agronomy engineering at ISTOM, graduating in 2019, during which time he attended ENSAPC courses as an auditor. His multidisciplinary practice explores the themes of the sacred, the black experience, and the occult. His work revolves around àṣẹ, a philosophical concept from Yoruba culture corresponding to the force of agency. His research on the Black Atlantic led him to obtain a Diploma in Yoruba Language, Literature, and Civilization from INALCO in 2024.
Winner of an ADIAF Emerging Artist Grant in 2024, a Taylor Prize in 2022, and a finalist for the 2025 Sheds Prize, he was invited to Rio de Janeiro for the 2025 Oficina Solar residency at Solar dos Abacaxis (supported by La FAB). He was welcomed in 2024 by Villa Belleville and in 2021 by Le Consulat Voltaire.
His work has been presented in several international exhibitions, including the French Institute for Research in Africa in Ibadan in 2022, DEATH in Tbilisi in 2024, and La constellation de M. S at the Eric Mouchet gallery in Brussels in 2025, curated by Andy Rankin. In 2022, he had two solo exhibitions in Paris at the Loft Gallery with Je connais la valeur de la peur (I know the value of fear) and La La Lande with Objects In Motion Will Stay In Motion.
He is involved locally with Carbone 17, a self-managed artist collective and residency based in Aubervilliers, where he is the cultural coordinator.
